Less than two weeks after being left for dead by the Taliban, Malala Yousafzai is alive and well… and her story may have launched a new global movement.

Nearly 1 million people have signed a petition on iammalala.org, calling for action to ensure that every girl has a place at school in Pakistan, and around the world. Incredible!

You can watch Malala’s story in this video (also available on iammalala.org):

We are touched, grateful and inspired by this moving turn of events!
