I just want to quick send out a blog in order to share the following link with you:
https://rohingyavision.com/life-through-the-eyes-of-a-rohingya-photographer/
Our comms guy just shared this link with us today. And I am sharing it with you because it tells of some of the difficulties of being a Rohingya youth in the refugee camps. You have to be highly motivated (like this young man) to continue to learn and to grow.
I recently learned that the average amount of time that a person remains a refugee is 17 years! The Rohingya have been here for 2 years thus far.
What he says about education is true. Beyond pre-school education, little else exists. And so the plight of youth is really dire.
And he highlights the fires as well. Here is a picture that one of our staff took of a fire on the 24th of April. He describes well the challenges that fires pose (because he lives that reality).
I think this gives you a better idea of the reality of Rohingya youth! Thanks for continuing to pray for them!

So sad! Interesting that the Rohingya Vision Network published not one, but multiple photos of the corpse of the little boy who died in the landslide. We are blessed beyond measure to have access to education, food, shelter, healthcare, and the other freedoms we enjoy in the US. On this 75th anniversary of D-Day, I honor the sacrifice of those who have made my life of relative ease possible. I pray for the peace of Ephesians
