Nobel peace prize

This time the Nobel peace prize was won by two people.One of them was Malala,and the other Kailash  Satyarthi.Both of them come from the same reigon.Pakistan is very near to us,and Malala is from there.Malala is a teen who fights for the girl child,and was almost killed two years ago.Kailash Satyarthi is the head of a NGO,called Bachpan Bachao Andolan.This NGO is totally against child labour.Malala is very young,but I still think she deserves the honour.As for Bachpan Bachao Andolan,it's a NGO started in the 1980s,and has now saved over 80000 children from servitude.The stated vision of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) is to create a child friendly society, where all children are free from exploitation and receive free and quality education.I think both the winners are doing a great job,and are contenders in making Earth a better place.The Nobel Peace Prize isn't just a normal award.It goes to people who really have done a great job,and are very capable of being role models for the globe.Boy,wouldn't it feel awesome to get these results.But I don't even like to hear these two words in the same sentence.Child and Labour.It would be an awful life,if you ended up burning your hands while making crackers for Diwali,and see the bosses(adults) sit like a couch potato.Sends down shivers down my skins,thinking about me being in place of the unpriveleged kids.So hats off to Kailash Satyarthi for support and creating awareness about this cause!

  2. Satyakam, I loved reading this post. It is indeed a happy day for India but also a sad one that hardly a few knew about KS and his Bachpan Bachap Andolan up until now. I am happy that you wrote about it.
