Whats there to be happy about???? Can anyone tell me??

Anum and Malala are great inspirations for girls in Pakistan and all over the world. They both defied those who want to keep women out of schools and illiterate.

You see that but I see one talented leaving her mother land to serve Yanks for the rest of her life.

There is a misconception... if you read it carefully it says summer exchange program..... which means she will just spent few months there and then will be back..... and most of the people getting scholarship under USEF has to come back once getting there degree to serve here.

Awesome Stuff. People like her make not only Pakistanis proud but also Indians. People like her are the best in the region.

I guess it's too hard for you to understand that education is the ticket for the poor slum dwellers to move up to the middle class.

There are many benefits of rural to urban migration for migrants' lives, including reduction in abject poverty, empowerment of women, increased access to healthcare and education and other services. Historically, cities have been driving forces in economic and social development. As centers of industry and commerce, cities have long been centers of wealth and power. They also account for a disproportionate share of national income. The World Bank estimates that in the developing world, as much as 80 percent of future economic growth will occur in towns and cities. Nor are the benefits of urbanization solely economic. Urbanization is associated with higher incomes, improved health, higher literacy, and improved quality of life. Other benefits of urban life are less tangible but no less real: access to information, diversity, creativity, and innovation.
