The Amit Hossein family came to Bangladesh in August 2017 – fleeing mayhem and violence in Myanmar.
10-year-old Homaira. said “they were shooting bullets, cutting people with knives and slaughtering the people, that is why we fled here.”
Homaira came with her three siblings, Sufaira, 12-years-old, Mohammed Anis, 8-years-old and Mohammed Safayet, 7-years-old.
Back in Myanmar, the siblings were not allowed to go to school.
Homaira said “in Myanmar, we did not feel happy because the police did not allow us to go to school or to play. They forced us away."
The family have now settled in Unchiprang Makeshift Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
The camp is overcrowded and chaotic, but the children are offered a chance to be children again.
UNICEF has set up learning centers where they can finally get an education, safe from harm. Overall, UNICEF aims to reach up to 150,000 Rohingya refugee children with education services.
Homaira said “I feel happy to come to school. I’ve got books and I get homework! I’m happy to read and I enjoy learning English.”
Providing an education for Rohingya refugee children is critical in ensuring that they have a semblance of hope for their futures.
