10 Fast Facts on Malala Yousafzai, the World’s Youngest Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani girl who first gained international attention for being shot in the head and nearly killed by the Taliban, has won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. As the global spokesperson for girls’ education, Malala has relentlessly advocated on behalf of her cause, continuing to speak out (despite increased Taliban threats) and even traveling to the United States to meet President Obama (and his family) in 2013. She has co-founded the Malala Fund, which invests in early stage girls’ education initiatives or small organizations in countries like Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya and Jordan.

Here are 10 other compelling facts about this remarkable Nobel Peace Prize recipient:

1. She’s a minor . At 17 years old, Malala is is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize since its inception in 1901.

2. She’s been advocating for girls’ education since she was 11. In 2009, Malala started blogging about living under Taliban rule for the BBC. She later became a national figure in her country, appearing on television as a spokesperson for girls’ education.

3. She was only 15 years old when she was shot by the Taliban. Malala was aboard a bus in 2012, campaigning for education of girls in Pakistan, when the Taliban reportedly hijacked the bus and singled her out, shooting her in the head and the neck.

4. She addressed the United Nations on her 16th birthday. Malala spoke of “the right of education of every child” on July 12th, 2013.

5. She has already published a memoir. In August 2014, “I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World” was published in the United States and is a #1 seller on Amazon.

6. She was pulled out of class in Birmingham, England to be informed of her award. She has been living in England since being treated for her gunshot wounds.

7. She originally wanted to be a doctor. Since her increased visibility, Malala has changed her career focus to politics.

8. Her father used to be a schoolmaster. Ziauddin Yousafzai ran one of the last schools to defy the Taliban’s orders to not educate girls. He has reportedly encouraged his daughter to be outspoken from a young age.

9. She was just awarded over half a million dollars. Malala will be splitting the prize money, $1.1 million, with her 60-year-old co-recipient, Kailash Satyarthi, a human rights advocate from India.

10. She’s winning the Nobel Peace Prize nearly two years to the day that she was shot. Malala was shot on October 9th, 2012. She was reported to be in critical condition and not expected to survive.

Post.....!

For all my friends, whether close or casual, just because. This is one of the longest posts I will ever make, and one of the most real too. Everyone will go through some hard times at some point. Life isn't easy. Just something to think about. Did you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? Did you know the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most? Did you know the three hardest things to say are I love you, I'm sorry, and help me? Sometimes just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile to see how much pain they may be in. To all my friends who aregoing through some issues right now--let's start an intentional avalanche.We all need positive intentions right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly copy and paste this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all of those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just needs to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my friends just for moral support. I know some will!!! I did it for a friend and you can too. You have to copy and paste this one, NO SHARING...I will leave it in the comments so it is easier for you to copy paste

ST.Francis Xavier

Born: 7 April 1506
Xavier, Kingdom of Navarre (present Spain)

Died: 3 December 1552 (aged 46)
Portuguese Base at São João Island (now China)

Francis Xavier, SJ, born Francisco de Jasso y Azpilicueta (7 April 1506 – 3 December 1552), was a Roman Catholic missionary born in Xavier, Kingdom of Navarre (now part of Spain), and co-founder of the Society of Jesus. He was a study companion of St. Ignatius of Loyola and one of the first seven Jesuits who took vows of poverty and chastity at Montmartre, (Paris) in 1534.[1] He led an extensive mission into Asia, mainly in the Portuguese Empire of the time. He was influential in evangelization work most notably in India. He also ventured into Japan, Borneo, the Maluku Islands, and other areas which had, until then, not been visited by Christian missionaries. In these areas, being a pioneer and struggling to learn the local languages in the face of opposition, he had less success than he had enjoyed in India. It was a goal of Xavier to extend his missionary preaching to China but he died in Shangchuan Island shortly before doing so.

St. Francis Xavier was beatified by Paul V on 25 October 1619, and was canonized by Gregory XV on 12 March 1622. In 1624 he was made co-patron of Navarre alongside Santiago. He is considered to be one of the greatest missionaries since St. Paul.[2] He is known as the "Apostle of the Indies," and the "Apostle of Japan”. In 1927, Pope Pius XI published the decree “Apostolicorum in Missionibus” naming St. Francis Xavier, along with St. Thérèse of Lisieux, co-patron of all foreign missions.[3] He is now co-patron saint of Navarre with San Fermin. The Day of Navarre (Día de Navarra) in Spain marks the anniversary of Saint Francis Xavier's death on December 3, 1552.
