  1. Thank you, Catherin, for sharing the Rohingya story and giving our voices a place to be heard. ❤️As a Rohingya refugee living inside the camp, this is not just an article to me. This is my life.Behind these bamboo walls are people who lost their homes, loved ones, dreams and almost everything they had. Nine years have passed since we were forced from our homeland, yet we are still here, living in uncertainty and waiting for the day we can safely return home.Sometimes it hurts to realize that nine years of our lives have passed inside a place that was supposed to be temporary. Children have grown up as refugees. Parents have grown old waiting. Many have died without ever seeing home again.The world may see a refugee camp, but we see our lost lives.Thank you for reminding people that behind every statistic is a human being, a family, a memory and a dream.We don’t want to be remembered only as victims. We want to live with dignity, justice, freedom and hope in our homeland again.Thank you for standing with the Rohingya. 🙏💔
