"We are ho­n­oured to have Malala Yousafzai at Mag­dale­na Grand Beach & Golf Re­sort to­day. She is an in­spi­ra­tion around the world and her vis­it to To­ba­go will un­doubt­ed­ly en­cour­age the youth of our coun­try to over­come any chal­lenges," said Bernard Sarme, gen­er­al man­ag­er of Mag­dale­na Grand.
