The Nobel Peace Prize for 2014

To be honest, I don't find any value in the Nobel Peace Prize since Barack Obama won it in 2009.

But this year, remarkable persons, who have been struggling against terrible situation where many children are in, won it. Great!

Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai is great, needless to say. However I admire her father more, who knows the importance of education and never stopped his daughter from speaking out even after she was nearly killed by Taliban.

Kailash Satyarth, I didn't know of him.
I've looked at his activities and I found those outstanding. He's been struggling against child labor and exploitation. Also he's developed the scheme of providing education programs so that children who saved from child labor can return to society.

Education is the only solution.
Education First. 
(Malala's speech at the UN. )

If children are deprived of an education, they can't escape from poverty.
(Mailash's comment after wining the Nobel Peace Prize.)
