Hy readers! We have been working in groups about the Nobel prizes. Then we have to chose a person that have received a Nobel prize. I choose Ellen Johnson, a woman that was awarded the 2011 Nobel peace prize.Ellen was recognized for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's right to full participation in peace-building work.

 Ellen Johnson was schooled in the United State before serving in the government of her native Liberia. A military coup in 1980 sent her into exile, but she returned in 1985 to speak out against the military regime. . She won the 2005 presidential election and took office 16 January 2006, and she was a successfull candidate for re-election in 2011, being the first women elected in Africa.

Ellen Johnson won the prize with peace activist Leymah  Gbowee and human right activist Tawakkul Karman. Ellen was seen as a reformer and peacemaker when she took office in Liberia, a country ravaged by civil wars that is still struggling to maintain a fragile peace. 

Here I have put a video of Ellen Johnson, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman, receiving the Nobel prize and speaking about their ideas:
