Where does Malala live?
Malala lives in northwestern Pakistan, specifically in Swat Valley.


What are the problems that Malala and her people face everyday?
January 14th, 2008, school for women has cancelled. This is one of the problems for Malala, because she liked school. She also lives in fear, for her father is constantly being followed by the Taliban. For his daughters protection, he leaves some nights to protect his daughter. Malala, for what she did (Speak out), she could be killed at any time any day by the Taliban.

This girl is our age, and she lives in horrible conditions and she did what we hope to do. We have safe homes and have all the resources, so lets use them! People like Malala probably wish that they could have all the resources right in front of them. Let us be grateful that we have these computers or these books.

 Why were Malala and her father so overcome with sadness and happiness when they returned to their home in Swat Valley?
They were probably overcome with sadness and happiness because well first, Malala's father is worried for his daughters condition, being shot and all. Now, he is probably happy because of his daughters work.  Also, when they get home, there would be no home, because they probably got mad at her so they destroyed her home.
