While watching an episode of Ellen, I came across one show which featured Malala Yousafzai – the amazing woman who was shot in the face by the Taliban, recovered and won the Nobel Peace prize for her amazing inspiration & conviction for education for girls (& indeed everyone) in countries such as Pakistan and alike.

Malala’s story inspired me to donate and I would encourage others (no, implore you!) to do the same.

See below a note which I would encourage you to copy and forward to as many others amongst your friends, families and professional networks.

Friend,

I just joined student, education activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala and donated to her movement to ensure ALL girls access secondary education.

Will you join me and help make Malala’s vision a reality? Your gift will support a local girls’ education project in some of the world’s toughest places, including efforts in Pakistan, Nigeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Sierra Leone and Kenya.

Thank you sincerely,

Salim

To all the Muslims across the Planet, I wish you & your families & friends & communities, Eid Mubarak.
