One of the darkest days of humanity

About 130 people today lost their lives during a terrorist attack in Peshawar, Pakistan.

Most of them, were kids_young people_ innocent students. The target was a school. An Army Public School.

Kids watched their brothers and sisters being killed, and their teachers being burnt alive. Talibans literally set the teacher on fire with gasoline and made the kids watch.

How far can ABOMINATION go? What is going to stop this HATE? How can this people KILL their own children? Their own blood, their own country!

Nobody knows the answer. And today is an horribly sad day.Today humanity was defeated once more. Today terrorists wanted to prove to their people that they have the power. They are in control. They are not afraid to kill kids, to kill the future.

About this atrocious attack, Malala said: “I, along with millions of others around the world, mourn these children, my brothers and sisters – but we will never be defeated.”

My heart bleeds thinking of those poor broken lives and their families. I don’t pray, but I hope their souls will find peace, wherever they are.

I want to believe that a better world is possible. But something in this war against terrorism has to change, otherwise days like today will be repeated over and over.

I STAND WITH PAKISTAN_ #PEACE

#TheLast: the story of Malala

I had the pleasure to read the book “I am Malala” about a year ago. I couldn’t immagine a 16 years old girl would have been so inspiring for me.

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani girl, who stood up for female education, in a country where women have very few rights. She started running a blog when she was only 11 years old, to tell the people how hard life is under the Taliban occupation. Malala wanted the world to know that there are places like her beloved Valley, where education is banned for girls.

On 9 October 2012, Malala was shot 3 times, she remained unconscious and in critical condition for weeks.

Her story is not unique. Her story is the same of other 66 MILION children all around the world. What makes Malala so special is her courage! Her attitude to fight for human rights and the light in her eyes.

This year, she was given a Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle against the suppression of children and for the right of all young people to education.

Today, she keeps fighting for these rights and her message is so full of love and hope.

Let this be the last time that we see a child deprived of education.
Let this end with us.
