Malala Yousafzai became the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize ever at 17 years old. If you remember, she was shot in an attempted assination because she was going to school. At that time she was 11 years old and rebelling against the Taliban's orders for all girls to wear burqas and stay home.

The Nobel committee also awarded the Peace Prize to Kailash Satyarthi from India who has been devoted to end child slavery and credited with helping free tens of thousands of children from forced labor.

What a brilliant move by the Nobel committee. Not only are the recipients deserving but it brings attention to the India-Pakistan conflict which is pretty tense right now considering they both have nuclear arms. Let's hope the leaders of these two countries accept the invitation by the Nobel committee to attend the ceremony.
