诺贝尔和平奖得主马拉拉不一样的成人礼:开办难民女校  

Celebrating her first day as an adult Sunday
18-year-old Nobel Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai did the gift-giving — a girls school for Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
"I demand of leaders we must invest in books instead of bullets
" Yousafzai said in a speech "on behalf of the world's children."
When she was 15
Yousafzai was shot and seriously wounded by the Pakistani Taliban for advocating girls' education. After recovering
she continued her defiant advocacy
which led last year to her being the youngest Nobel laureate ever.
马拉拉15岁时便因为倡导女孩受教育权而被巴基斯坦塔利班组织严重射伤。康复后，她又继续义无反顾地坚持自己的道路。去年，马拉拉成为诺奖有史以来最年轻的得主。
She told Reuters she chose to open the school in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley "because I believe that the voices of the Syrian refugees need to be heard
and they have been ignored for so long."
Lebanonis hosting more than a quarter of the estimated 4 million Syrians who have fled the country's civil war
including about 500
000 school-age children.
The school
near the Syrian border
can acmodate up to 200 girls ages 14 to 18. It was paid for by Yousafzai's non-profit Malala Fund.
The student body shared birthday cake and sang songs
bringing the Nobel laureate to tears.
Gunmen shot Yousafzai on a school bus. It emerged last month that eight of the 10 militants charged in the 2012 attack were acquitted and not sentenced to life in prison as reported in April.
