Once, Arakan was blessed with abundant natural beauty, where people cultivated and traded a variety of fruits. Beneath the shade of towering trees, they would gather to rest, share stories, exchange gossip, and listen to the latest news from their community.
At times, the elders recited traditional poems, and villagers gathered around to listen, preserving their rich cultural heritage through oral storytelling and verse.
In the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, people are unable to experience that same sense of peace because of the overcrowded living conditions and the limited presence of trees and natural spaces.
The tranquil environment that once surrounded their daily lives in Arakan has been replaced by densely packed shelters and a constant struggle for space.
