Malala Yousafzai, the Pak­istani young woman who is an ac­tivist for rights of all girls to an ed­u­ca­tion and a 2013 No­bel Peace Prize nom­i­nee, vis­it­ed To­ba­go en­joyed lunch at Mag­dale­na Grand Beach and Golf Re­sort with a group of 26 peo­ple in­clud­ing her fam­i­ly, del­e­gates from The Uni­ver­si­ty of T&T, Ea­son Jor­dan, di­rec­tor of op­er­a­tions and com­mu­ni­ca­tions of the Malala Fund, and Megan Smith, vice pres­i­dent of Google X.

"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.

"We hope she en­joys the beau­ty of our coun­try as she vis­its key tourism spots and shares her ex­pe­ri­ences of the des­ti­na­tion on her glob­al trav­els," Sarme added.

The group vis­it­ed Buc­coo Reef where Malala and her fam­i­ly–in­clud­ing par­ents Tor Pekai and Zi­aud­din Yousafzai, and two broth­ers, Apal Khan Yousafzai and Khushal Khan Yousafzai–en­joyed a sea bath for the first time.
