17 Year Old Nobel Peace Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai Tells World Leaders A Thing Or Two...

During Malala's powerful acceptance speech at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo a few days ago, the young Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot by the Taliban two years ago and has become a global icon, was now sharing the most prestigious of prizes with Indian child rights campaigner Kailash Satyarthi. The gutsy and eloquent Malala criticised world governments for having the resources to begin wars but not the will to enable peace and universal education.
The world's youngest Nobel laureate's wonderful acceptance speech laced with self-deprecating humour is here.
She called as all peace prize winners do, not just for education but also fairness and caring.
The so-called world of adults may understand it, but we children don't. Why is it that countries which we call 'strong' are so powerful in creating wars but so weak in bringing peace? she said.
Why is it that giving guns is so easy but giving books is so hard? Why is it that making tanks is so easy, but building schools is so difficult?
World leaders aren't interested in peace Malala,
there's no money in it...

Sixteen Year Old Malala Yousafzai Will One Day Win The Nobel Peace Prize...

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon applauds the serene and confident sixteen year old Malala Yousafzai as she delivers her wonderful speech to the audience of the United Nations Youth Assembly at the day named in her honour.
The Taliban shot the then fifteen year old Malala in the head on October 9 last year in an assassination attempt.
Her recovery led to her most remarkable and well presented speech that you can see here. 
It is a speech of quality and sincerity and hopefully it's not the last the world will hear from this remarkable young woman.
Despite being a favourite, she did not win the Nobel Peace Prize for 2013 but there's always another year.
Malaha has an extraordinary future ahead of her and has already said she intends to be a future Prime Minister of her beloved Pakistan. Not only her Pakistan but the global society would be a better place if it takes heed of Mahala Yousafzai.
The world needs to embrace her and her ideals.
The Taliban have confirmed that they still plan to kill this young woman. Because she speaks a truth that they know will expose them.
Weakness, fear and hopelessness died the day she was shot she declares. Strength, power and courage were born.
Martin Luther King Jr, Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela would be proud of this beautiful and brave young woman.
We should be too...

Catch Of The Day...

Relatively new to motorhoming and freedom camping but well experienced in life, Lyndsay and Bruce arrived at this remote beach in New Zealand's Far North and as TFT was the only other vehicle here, asked me if it was safe.
I told them the natives were friendly and they decided to stay.
We chatted a while and the irony of these two worrying about their safety here amused me.
They had spent seven years in Afghanistan on Aid missions.
In the midst of war zones.
On a number of occasions they had both been held at gunpoint by the Taliban and the Mujahaden.
They had had their vehicles seized and had been terrified captives more than once.
They had ducked bullets on the streets of Kabul.
The concern for their safety here didn't last long and they were rewarded for their bravery by catching a number of good sized Snapper and this superb Kingfish.
Guess what I had for dinner...
