Today I visited the village of Chandauli in northern India. It's a small, very rural community about 150 miles from Delhi.

Earlier this year Chandauli got connected to the internet. Now, hundreds of people -- from school children to seniors -- are learning how to use the internet to find information, access government services and connect with their friends and loved ones.

Seeing first hand how people here are using the internet was an incredible experience. One day, if we can connect every village, we can transform many more lives and improve the world for all of us. Chandauli is just the start.

Remembrance. Malala first question after waking up from an induced coma was: 'Which country am I in?'



'Which country am I in?'

Malala first question after waking up from an induced coma was:

...
Surgeons have said the schoolgirl is responding well to treatment, although Dr Dave Rosser, Medical Director, added she is 'not out of the woods yet'.

Because her brain is still swollen, doctors do not yet know how damaged her brain will be.

She has also developing an infection in her throat.

Dr Rosser said the infection probably related to the track of a bullet, which grazed her head when she was attacked by Taliban gunmen.

He said: 'She is writing very freely, she has had a tracheotomy as her airway was swollen by the passing of the bullet.

'She's not able to talk, but we have no reason to believe she wouldn't be able to talk once this tube is out, which may be in the next few days.

'One of my colleagues spoke to her in Urdu, although she is understanding English, and she is keen that I share the details and thank people for their support, as she is obviously aware of the amount of interest and support, and she is keen to thank people for that.'

Dr Rosser explained that Malala would now need a significant period of rest and recuperation before she has reconstructive surgery and that this would probably be weeks to months down the line.

Malala: Women who have helped change our world, she is amongst the following luminaries Jean d'Arc, Florence Nightingale, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, Anne Frank, Mary McLeod Bethune, Helen Keller, Aung San Suu Kyi, Harriet Tubman.

No women has stood up against tyranny of 'talibanisation' in today's age as she did.
