School children in Pakistan on Saturday offered special prayers for Malala Yousafzai, a 14-year-old girl shot and injured by Taliban in the country's northwestern Swat valley last month for her quest to promote education among the girls, local media reported. The United Nations had announced to observe "Malala Day" on Saturday to pay tributes to Malala Yousafzai, who is now getting medical treatment in the UK.
