At the close of the first day of the Women in the World Summit Thursday night, Angelina Jolie presented Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head by the Taliban last year because of her impassioned advocacy for girls education. Following the horrific attack, Vital Voices, with a donation from the Women in the World Foundation, established the Malala Fund to be directed by the 15-year-old. In a video address, a miraculously healthy-looking Malala announced that she will use the fund to help with the schooling of girls in Pakistan.
“This is the happiest moment of my life,” Malala told the audience, adding, “If we can educate 40 girls, we can educate 40 million girls.”
Jolie recounted the horrific circumstances of Malala’s attack, which the young girl said she had almost been expecting. Malala had nightmares about the possibility, Jolie said, and vowed that if the Taliban attempted to kill her she would “tell them that what they were trying to do was wrong, that education is our basic right.”

A very good act of A.Jolie for the noble cause of education of Pakistani women worthy to be emulated by others well-to-do in all the deprived, under developed societies. Let such ‘happiest moments’ may spring and spread its sweet smell in the lives of
‘Malalas’ of all the poor people, poor sections of nations in all parts of the world.
I met Angelie Jolie some years back in Baghdad …
May our beloved homeland prosper and return to sanity.
