Harun, 24, son of Eman Hussian from Inn Din Village, Maung Daw Township, Rakhine State, Myanmar. He is the youngest member of his family. All of his elder siblings are married and have their own families. He currently lives with his parents, his wife and his son in the refugee camp. His household consists of five members and they love and support one another through every challenge.

His childhood was filled with beautiful memories of village life, surrounded by nature and a supportive community. His village was especially beautiful, with the sea to the west and the Mayyo Mountain to the east, nestled between these two remarkable natural landscapes. Despite facing many restrictions as a Rohingya, he remained committed to his education and dreamed of building a better future. These experiences shaped his resilience, patience, and determination to learn and serve others.

In August 2017, his family and he were forced to flee thier home due to widespread violence against the Rohingya community. “To reach safety, we walked nearly 5 miles through dense forests and 7 miles along the seashore.” Harun Explained,” We then crossed the Naf River in a small boat, risking our lives to escape the violence.”

Life in the refugee camp has been challenging, but it has strengthened his determination to continue learning and serving his community. He has been in a teaching role since 2018 and worked to support children’s learning while participating in professional training to improve his teaching skills. “My goal is to inspire students, promote quality education and contribute positively to the Rohingya community.” Harun said.

Harun was a student of Life Destination High School and completed his matriculation with two distinctions and secured the first position on 2022.

On the same year, he joined with Life Destination High School as a teacher and teaching science across different grade levels. He is also persuing Bachelor of Bussiness Administration ( BBA) at the University of the People through the process of online.
