American girl writes song to support Pakistani teen's struggle

A few days ago, we shared with you the story of Malala Yousufzai, the Pakistani teen who was shot in the head last year by the Taliban for her stance on women's rights, particularly education. It wasn't just us the story touched. When Samantha Anne Martin, 12, first heard about Malala, she was heartbroken. And then she decided to do something.
 
That something turned out to be a song that she has since made into a music video supporting a petition for Malala to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Samantha wrote the song with her father, and a family friend helped out with the melody. The result? "Ricochet (Malala's Song)," which has just surpassed 13,000 views on YouTube.
 
Take a peek...

So heartwarming to see someone taking some time to care about people very far away. Malala is an inspiration to us all...thanks for taking the time to do this. This should be in the print magazine!

Great song. And that piano is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I want it! Smile

That was so moving! I am now thinking of raising money for the fund that it showed at the end of the video. At my school, a girl told the teachers that she wanted to send a photo to Sandy Hook elementary shaped like a heart. So now I want to do a fundraiser at my school to raise money for the fund. GO MALALA! WE LOVE YOU! THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS!
