Pakistanis can't trust. They've seen in history that people, particularly politicians, are corrupt. And they're misguided by people in the name of Islam. They're told: 'Malala is not a Muslim, she's not in purdah, she's working for America.'
There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color, or religion.
Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality.
In Kenya, I met wonderful girls; girls who wanted to help their communities. I was with them in their school, listening to their dreams. They still have hope. They want to be doctor and teachers and engineers.
Even we schoolchildren know that ordinary diplomats don't drive around in unmarked cars carrying Glock pistols.
Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.
I discovered Deborah Ellis's books in the school library after my head teacher encouraged me to go beyond the school curriculum and look for books I might enjoy.
In Swat, there are two jobs a woman's going to do: a teacher or a doctor. If not, then become a housewife.
In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering.
The best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue.
