Dear human rights advocates,

First of all, I want to thank you for your great volunteering suggestions from last week! You are a charitable group of people. The opportunity I’ve found, which I’ll be starting mid-July, will be working with children in our local homeless shelter. They have a playroom that can only stay open when there are volunteers available, and I want to help those kids have access to a place to play!

My article today is a review of the book I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. Have any of you read it? I thought it was an interesting and enjoyable read. If you want to know a little more about what I thought, you can read my review here:

Happy 4th of July this week to any American readers out there!

Take care,
