Priyanka sends b’day wishes to Malala: ‘Be blessed with the best’.”I founded @MalalaFund and travelled to 31 countries to meet advocates like me who are fighting to improve access to girls’ education,” Malala wrote.
She added: “We have seen achievements and setbacks, but we keep fighting. At 16 years old, I couldn’t imagine what the next decade would hold — for myself or girls like me. But I was hopeful because I saw the world waking up to the injustices we faced.”
Malala concluded by saying: “Today I can see the future more clearly — because I have met our future leaders. Girls and young women, like the ones in this photo, understand the power of education — and they are working to open the school gates wide enough for every child to enter.
“I know that if we match their determination, fund their work and follow their lead, we will see so much more progress in the next ten years.”
