A little while later my mother joined us. I had just started taking small steps, but I still needed someone to help me in the bathroom. Since that first day, my mother had tried not to stare at my face. But as she guided me into the bathroom, I noticed she stole a look at my reflection in the mirror. Our eyes met for a moment, then she looked away.   Then came a whisper. "Your face," she said. "Will it get better?"

Mother worried about Malala’s face/appearance 🙁

A little while later my mother joined us. I had just started taking small steps, but I still needed someone to help me in the bathroom. Since that first day, my mother had tried not to stare at my face. But as she guided me into the bathroom, I noticed she stole a look at my reflection in the mirror.

You Do: Roadmap (Who, What, How)

Passage

 "My face. It doesn't matter," I said. "God has given me a new life."   My recovery was a blessing, a gift from God and from all the people who had cared for me and prayed for me. And I was at peace. But while I was in Birmingham watching Shrek and his talking donkey, my poor parents had been thousands of miles away, enduring their own terrible pain.   I had been healing while they had been suffering. But from that day on, our family began to heal together.

Gandhi

​an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

Salt Tax

• Britain’s Salt Act of 1882 prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple in their diet.

• Indian citizens were forced to buy the vital mineral from their British rulers

• British rulers charged a heavy salt tax.

• Although India’s poor suffered most under the tax, all Indians required salt.
