A tragic bomb blast in the Swat Valley, a suspected Taliban suicide attack, ripped through a busy market in Mingora on Monday, killing 8 people. In response to our concerned messages to Ziauddin Yousafzai, the owner of the Khushal Public School in Swat Valley, he replied:
"Let us not loose heart for our usual life must continue despite all hurdles. This is life and we should keep on crawling for survival on our own. This blast took away eight people, but we are blessed for thousands survived. Let us change our perceptions to think positively. Let us try to stay safe, brave and determined."
Our hearts go out to the people of Swat Valley, to Ziauddin, and all our school-girls over there.
