He

whiffed the

fresh aroma

of brewed

coffee as he sleepily trudged down the stairs.Sally gently ran her hands over the soft satin fabric of the dress. I bit into the tangy flesh of the fresh orange and tasted its cold and sweet juice. When we came inside, I saw that my wind-chapped cheeks were the color of bright red cherries.The screeching of the fire alarm was so loud that I had to cover my ears when I walked past.The snow drifted slowly from the clouds, falling softly like cotton on the frozen earth.

Brief history of Pakistan

On August 15, 1947, at midnight, colonial India gained its independence from

England and

split into

three

parts – today’s Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India. Muslims from all over India traveled to find a home in Pakistan.At the same time, many  Hindus and other non-Muslims left Pakistan for India. The transition to independence, however, was far from peaceful.  Hundreds of thousands were killed: Muslims on their way to Pakistan, as well as non-Muslims leaving for India.  Slide13

Brief history of Pakistan

Due to conflicts in Afghanistan (Pakistan’s neighbor to the west),

i

n 2007 the militant Islamist Taliban came to power in the Swat Valley.

They used public floggings and executions to punish those who defied the Taliban’s very strict interpretation of “Sharia” (Islamic law derived from the Koran and other Islamic writings).  

Opposed to the education of women, the Taliban burned down hundreds of girls’ schools across the region.  They threatened teachers and female students who continued to pursue an education, forcing many to give up their careers, their education and their dreams.  Slide14

Malala

Yousafzai

On July 12, 1997,

Malala

Yousafzai was born in Mingora, Pakistan, located in thecountry's Swat Valley.Yousafzai attended a school that her father founded. After the Taliban began attacking girls' schools in Swat, Malala gave a speech on girls’ education in Pakistan in September 2008. In early 2009, Yousafzai began blogging for the BBC about living under the Taliban's threats to deny her an education. On October 9, 2012, a

man boarded the bus Malala was riding in and shot Malala in the left side of her head; two other girls were also injured in the attack.Because Malala

was critically injured, she was transferred to a hospital Birmingham, England.After multiple surgeries, she was able to begin attending school in Birmingham in March

2013.Because Malala remains a staunch advocate for the power of education, the Taliban still considers her a target.

She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Price in 2013 and has been nominated again in 2014.Slide15
