The hospital's medical team said it was "very pleased" with the progress Malala had made after the last operations and would continue her rehabilitation at her family's temporary home in the city. Doctors had earlier said they did not expect Malala to have to undergo any further surgery. She is now expected to secure permanent residence in the UK after her father Ziauddin Yousafzai was given a job with the Pakistani Consulate in Birmingham for the next three years. Earlier this week, speaking in a recorded video message for the first time since the attack, Malala announced a fund to be used to help provide education for all young people. The first grant being provided by the Malala Fund will go towards urging families in her home area of the Swat Valley to keep their daughters in education. "God has given me this new life and this is a second life. And I want to serve. I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated," she said in the message. Malala has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by three Norwegian MPs.
