Appreciating female youth

Pakistani girls Malala Yousafzai and Sitara Barooj Akbar are an inspiration for children all around the world.

LAHORE: This is with reference to your editorial of December 5 titled “The might of children” and the news story published on December 6 titled “The bright-eyed future”. The bright Pakistani girls Malala Yousafzai and Sitara Barooj Akbar are an inspiration not only for other Pakistani children but for those all around the world. Their love for education, ambition and determination is worth acknowledging. They have proved that Pakistani children are not aimless members of society, but that they have aspirations which they can achieve through dedication and hard work.

Kudos to both the girls!
