"I was very moved by the lighting show because it summarizes the story so powerfully," said Ziauddin Yousafzai. "I cried a little bit – it moved me to tears; also, the performer and the way she performed and she presented the story – that was also incredibly powerful!." Yousafzai went on to say how every part of the story is beautiful and he appreciates how much work went into making the experience authentic, "I was very impressed to see how the house, the doors and the flowers – how that particular plant has grown… then our home and the neighbors and in the background – the mountains. You feel like you are standing in Mingora and Butkara and in the street where we lived." Yousafzai continued, "So that feeling - it's so beautiful – so you see - yes, this is my story, this is my valley's story, this is my country's story. This is our people's story -- thank you for documenting it for the people."

Key Points: 
  • For the first time, Ziauddin and his wife Toor Pekai Yousafzai saw the exhibit with their own eyes.
  • Those eyes swelled up with tears as they relived what happened to their daughter and their hearts swelled up with pride acknowledging what she's accomplished.
  • Since that time, she has endured multiple surgeries and continues to fight for girls to receive a proper education.
  • The Yousafzai family donated additional artifacts and loaned a traditional, special baby ring gifted to Malala from her maternal grandmother.
