Malala shot at while coming back from school
Nigerian girls abducted from school
And here is another girl determined to get an education - Phung
Phung, whose full name is Dao Ngoc Phung, is from an impoverished and landless family. Room to Read is helping her get an education and today, 16-year-old Phung is ranked near the top of her 11th-grade class of 191. She sets her alarm for 3:30 each morning, reviews her homework and then commutes an hour each way to school. She washes her only school uniform — a white dress — in a bucket each evening and hopes it will dry overnight.
