The Horrific Touch of a Child Victim

Hakmat Ullah received his award during ceremony at Life Destination High School.



My name is Hakmot Ullah, and I am an 18 years old, the youngest of nine siblings. Today, I study in Grade 12 at Life Destination Community High School in Bangladesh, but my journey began in Myo Thu Gyi village, Maung Daw Township, Arakan State, Myanmar.


Early Life and Education

My father was a respected farmer and cattle trader, while my mother devoted herself to raising us with love and wisdom.

I began my schooling at Myo Thu Gyi Primary School, but everything changed in 2017 when brutal military attacks forced us to flee. Overnight, I went from being a student to becoming a refugee.

Education in Refugee camp

Life in Refugee camp has not been easy, but education gave me strength and purpose. With the help of dedicated teachers like Mr. Jubair and Mr. Rushan Ali, I continued my studies inside Camp-6, Kutupalong. Later, I joined Life Destination High School and Mercy Refugee House, where I found hope again through learning.

My love for Chemistry, Biology, and Physics keeps me motivated. Through determination and hard work, I earned top positions in school, including:

2nd place in Grade 7 (2021)

1st place in Grade 8 (2022)

1st place in Grade 10 (2023)

1st place in Grade 11 (2024)


These achievements are not only mine and represent the strength of every Rohingya student who combat the hunger of education.

Tragic Event in Myanmar

I will never forget the tragedies I witnessed in Myanmar. On 9th October 2016, armed forces attacked our village, killing more than 15 innocent people. Then on 25th August 2017, the genocide forced thousands, including my family, to escape. Many lives were lost, but we survived and my voice never be broken.

Hope for the Future

For Rohingya youth, higher education often feels unreachable. But I refuse to stop trying. My dream is to continue my studies, become a voice for justice, and inspire my community to rise above despair.


” Education is my torch of hope. From the ashes of suffering, I believe a brighter tomorrow can be born.”

“Hakmot Ullah, a dedicated Grade 12 student at Life Destination High School, began his academic writing journey in the classroom, transforming lessons into a path of hope and achievement. This is an original piece of his autobiography life, he himself wrote it to inspire others and deal with his hope of education.”

Autobiography of Robi Alam


Name: Robi Alam
Date of Birth: 01 August 2003
Place of Birth: Dabinshara Village, Buthidaung Township, Arakan State, Myanmar
Religion: Islam

Early Life and Family

My name is Robi Alam. My father’s name is Noor Alam, and my mother’s name is Lalu. I was born into a humble and soft-spoken family in the northern part of Buthidaung Township, Arakan State, Myanmar. I am the eldest among ten siblings.

My father was a team leader of workers and also managed a small shop in our village, while my mother was a housewife. My childhood was simple. I enjoyed playing different games with my friends, especially football, which remains my favorite.

Education and Refugee Life

I began my education at the kindergarten primary school in my village. I was always curious, disciplined, and eager to learn new things. However, my life changed drastically in 2017, when violence against the Rohingya community forced my family to flee Myanmar and take refuge in Bangladesh.

When we first arrived in Bangladesh, a kind man welcomed us with food. That was the moment I realized I had become a “refugee.” Despite this painful reality, I did not lose hope.

In the refugee camp, I continued my studies. From Grade 1 to 5, I studied under Mr. Md Shomin, who also taught me Rohingya language and culture. In 2019, I enrolled at Life Destination High School, where I am now studying in Class 10 with honesty and dedication.

Career and Achievements

Alongside my studies, I pursued opportunities to build my skills. I applied to an INGO called FIVDB and, after an interview, was selected as a teacher. This experience allowed me to contribute to my community by teaching younger children.

In 2022, I participated in a competition organized by CODEC INGO, where I proudly achieved first position among all schools in Camp 06.

Challenges and Struggles

My journey has been marked by great hardship. As a Rohingya, I have faced persecution and discrimination in Myanmar.

On 10 October 2016, while I was in school, the military suddenly arrived and forced us out. Soon after, they burned houses in a nearby village (ဘုန်းတော်ပြင်) and killed many innocent people.

On 25 August 2017, the genocide against my people escalated. Soldiers began killing, raping, and burning houses. I remember a man in my village who was beaten simply for going out to catch fish after 9:00 pm. Terrified, my family and I searched for safety but found none, and finally, with tears and fear, we fled across the border into Bangladesh.

Hope

Today, I live in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. Despite the challenges, I remain determined to pursue higher education and to work for a brighter future. My dream is to inspire other Rohingya students never to give up, no matter how difficult life becomes.

Education is my path to freedom, dignity, and hope. I believe it is not just for me, but for all. I will continue to strive with honesty, discipline, and faith to make a positive impact on the world.

Robi Alam, a Grade-10 student from Life Destination High School, begins to write his autobiography and others related true stories after gaining a productive training called “Beginners Writing’s Workshop.”

Autobiography of Mohammed Salim

My name is Muhammad Salim, son of Jahid Hussain and Rajuma Khatun and I am an 18 years old. According to the UNHCR Data based record, there are 12 members in my family. I am the youngest one. I grew up in the Laung Dong Kyung Gaung village ( လောင်းဒုံးကျွန်းဂေါင်းရွာ ), in the northern part of Maung Daw township, Arakan state, Myanmar. However, I have been living as a refugee about eight years in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh.

Early Life and Education

I was born into a Rohingya family in Myanmar, where our community has long been marginalized and persecuted. My father was a legendary tailor, well known both in voluminous Boli Bazaar and my village while my mother was a dedicated housewife. As a boy, I spent my days playing with my childhood friends, building small shelters with pieces of bamboo and cane, and torn tarpaulin, and enjoying all kinds of games.

However, I was curious, disciplined child and loved learning. I attended kindergarten at Kyung Gaung Primary School in Myanmar. Unfortunately, in 2017, I was forced to flee my homeland with my family after a horrific attack on Rohingya Muslims by the Myanmar Militaries. Arriving in Bangladesh gave me a miserable identity “Refugee” but I have not lose hope. I still carry a big dream in my heart.

At first, my elder brother, Mr Ruhul Amin, taught me from Grade-1 to Grade-8 at my shelter located in Camp-6, Kutupalong. His teaching techniques are truly astonishing. Later, I continued my learning journey in a private organization called ” Mercy Refugee House” funded by Mr Joseph Namin. After studying there for almost 2 years, I enrolled at Life Destination High School in Grade-9. Since 2023, my dream has been moving forward, and soaring like a flower in bloom and emitting the flames brightly to reach achievement one day.

Career and Achievements

In my educational journey, I have been facing with the harsh reality of limited opportunities for Rohingya students in both Myanmar and Rohingya refugee camp. In 2023, through sheer determination and hard work, I secured 2nd position from all of the camps in Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh in an “Essay and Letter Writing Competition” organized by Rohingya Youth Initiative-RYI.

Furthermore, by the grace of almighty Allah, I secured first position in Grade-10 at Life Destination High School, as well as being first overall among all students (တစ်ကျောင်းလုံး ပထမ) in the academic year 2024-2025. And also I secured first position in the “Mercy” school. Similarly, I secured first in my all grades. I am excited about my future and look forward to achieving even greater success in my academic pursuits.

Challenges and Struggles

In my mother land, Myanmar, the challenges I faced that put my life and well-being at risk and was subjected to persecution and discrimination by the Myanmar governments and forced to flee to the bordering country, Bangladesh in search of safety and security.

On 10th October 2016, when I was going to school in Myanmar, a sudden military team, facing me directly and asked me stubbornly and ferociously “Does your father involve in any related armed group?” I was shocked and replied with mega confidence “No”. Then, they continued in searching innocent Rohingya in my village to accuse them armed. I overheard that they were shooting into my village on and on and again and again too.

On 25th August 2017, the genocide committed against Rohingya Muslims, Arakan State, northern part of Myanmar. The world described it as a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing”  was a systematic campaign of violence and persecution. These included mass killings, rape, torture, and the burning of villages. Countless men, women, and children were brutally murdered, while I and my family were forced to flee our home and seek refuge in neighboring country, Bangladesh.

Final hope

Striving for higher education for Rohingya students is not an easy task. All the opportunities of the further education have no keys to open but I remain focused on my goals and working tirelessly to achieve till reaching it. My story serves as a testament to resilience and determination of the Rohinhya community, who continue to grab for a better future despite the odds stacked against them.

I expect that my academic journey inspires other Rohinhya students to never give up on their dreams and to always keep fighting for a brighter future.

Finally, my journey as a Rohinhya student has been filled with ups and downs, and challenges and triumphs. Despite the obstacles I have faced, I remain committed to using my education to make a positive impact on the world. I will continue to work towards achieving my goals, advocating for justice, and equality for all.

Memoir of Abdul Karim



My name is Abdul Korim. I am the son of Hamit Husson and Khatiza. I am 18 years old and the proud brother of 10 brothers and 2 sisters. I was born and raised in KyetYoePyin village ( ကြက်ရိုးပြင်), located in Northern Maungdaw Township of Arakan State, Myanmar. Today, I live as a refugee in Camp-06 of the Kutupalong FDMN camp in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

Currently, I am studying in Grade 12 at a community high school called Life Destination High School. Throughout my academic journey, I have ranked 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in every Grade. But no matter how hard I work, it often feels like my efforts are in vain, as we refugees do not receive recognized certificates or qualifications. Despite this, I have not lost hope.

I come from what was considered a high-class family in our village. My father was a farmer and a respected Amir, and my mother is a dedicated housewife. Although my parents did not receive a proper education themselves, they always prioritized education for their children. I studied up to Grade 4 in Myanmar before we were forced to leave. My parents supported every dream I had, and I am forever proud to be their son.

Everything changed on August 25, 2017. That was the day I fled Myanmar and crossed into Bangladesh, escaping persecution, violence, and the ethnic cleansing campaign carried out by the Myanmar government. They labeled us “Bengali” to deny our identity, but we are Rohingya, and Arakan is our ancestral land.

I have always been a positive person. I love to read, to write, to dream, and to learn. I believe in growth through knowledge and community service. My dream is to become a doctor — not just for myself, but for my entire community. I want to serve the people who are suffering silently and bring dignity to the lives around me. But being born as a Rohingya means I face many restrictions. I cannot freely move, I cannot access quality education, and I cannot reach for opportunities like others in the world do.

We live under constant pressure as refugees in Bangladesh, we have no legal rights, no freedom of movement, and no official status. We face a double burden: discrimination in our homeland and statelessness in the land we fled to for safety. One of the hardest challenges I face today is the lack of access to higher education. The poverty that surrounds us makes it even harder, and without opportunities, our future becomes uncertain. Many young people here lose hope. But I refuse to give up.

Even though my dream of becoming a doctor seems far away, I still hold on to it. I continue to study, to learn, and to prepare myself. I believe one day, the world will hear our voices and give us the chance to rise not just for ourselves, but for the future of the Rohingya people.

After completing a writing workshop, Karim begins to write his own background as a memoir or an autobiography to share his inner crying which is still unheard by the world.

Autobiography of Mohammad Younus NC



Name:                               Mohammad Younus NC
Father:                              Nurul Islam
Date of birth:                    2007
Address in Myanmar:     Ngan Chaung village (ငန်းချောင်း)
Address in Bangladesh: Block A, Camp-6, Kutupalong

My name is Muhammad Younus, also known as Maung Maung Soe NC, and I am the eldest child in my family. I am the son of Nurul Islam and #Rokiya, and I am currently 18 years old. According to UNHCR records, our family consists of 12 members. I was born in Ngan Chaung village (ငန်းချောင်း), located in the northern part of Maungdaw Township, Arakan State, Myanmar (မြန်မာနိုင်ငံ).

Today, I live as a refugee in Kutupalong Camp 06, Block A, in the FDMN camp at Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

Early Life and Education

I was born into a humble Rohingya family. My father was a hardworking farmer, and my mother is a devoted housewife managing our large family with courage and strength. Although my parents are uneducated, they always taught us the value of learning and perseverance.

I studied up to Grade 4 in our village school in Myanmar, where I proudly achieved 2nd prize in both Grade 2 and Grade 3. After being forced to flee Myanmar, I continued my studies in the refugee camps of Bangladesh. I am now studying in Grade 12 at Life Destination High School (ဘဝပန်းတိုင်).

My educational journey has been full of challenges, yet I have remained determined. Throughout school, I ranked among the top three students multiple times. In the 2024 final examinations, I secured #second place in Grade 11 under the Myanmar curriculum. My favorite subjects are Biology, Chemistry and physics.

Career and Achievements

Alongside my studies, I have worked to contribute to my community. I served as a teacher with the Jagorani Chakra Foundation (JCF), a project under UNHCR, where I educated young Rohingya students in the camps. Unfortunately, the project was temporarily closed due to lack of funding.

I have also worked with other organizations such as NGO Forum, BRAC, and CWC, gaining valuable experience in humanitarian and community service work. These opportunities taught me leadership, communication, and the importance of helping others even in times of hardship.

Through my consistent effort in both academics and community service, I have built a foundation for my future goals. I aspire to one day serve my people at a global level.

Turning Point

The greatest turning point in my life came in 2017, when violence and persecution forced my family and me to flee #Myanmar. That painful journey across the border to #Bangladesh changed me forever.

I witnessed unimaginable suffering and the destruction of my homeland. We lost our property, identity, and sense of security overnight. Yet, amidst the fear and uncertainty, I made a promise to myself: I would not give up, and I would rise stronger for my people.

This turning point shaped my identity and gave me a deep sense of responsibility to pursue education and advocate for the rights of the Rohingya community.

The Pain of Persecution

I will never forget how we were denied our identity in Myanmar. We were called “Bengali” or “Kula” in an attempt to erase our Rohingya heritage. We were stripped of citizenship and forced into statelessness.

But the truth remains: we are the original people of Arakan, and Myanmar is our motherland. We were born there, and we rightfully belong there.

Dreams and Hopes

I find great joy in reading textbooks, writing poems and articles, and documenting the history of the Rohingya people. My dream is to become both a #university professor and an engineer, not just for myself, but to uplift and support my community.

As a Rohingya refugee, I face countless restrictions—no freedom of movement, no recognized citizenship, and limited access to higher education. Many young people in the camps have lost hope.

But I continue to study, learn, and prepare myself for the future. I believe that one day the world will hear my voice, and I will be able to bring change for my people.

Legacy and Impact

Though I am still young, I hope to leave behind a legacy of resilience, service, and hope. My goal is to break the barriers that confine Rohingya youth and to inspire them to dream again.

Through education and writing, I want to preserve our culture and history, and ensure that the sacrifices of our people are never forgotten. One day, I aspire to lead initiatives that provide quality education and opportunities to future generations.

My ultimate wish is for a world where Rohingya children can grow up with dignity, rights, and the chance to reach their full potential.

“I dream not just for myself, but for every Rohingya child who deserves a life of dignity and hope.”

Autobiography of Nur Kader NC

Name : Nur Kader
Date of Birth. : 7 May 2004
Address. : Nang Chaung Village, Maungdaw Township, Arakan State
Religion. : Islam

Early Life and Education

I was born into a middle-class Rohingya family in Nang Chaung village, located in Maungdaw Township of Arakan State, Myanmar. My father, a hardworking farmer, is no longer with us, and my mother is a dedicated housewife. We lived a simple life, surviving hand-to-mouth without any strong financial background.

As a child, I often helped my father in the paddy fields. I cherished the natural beauty around us and spent my free time playing various games with friends. Despite our hardships, my childhood was extraordinary because of the love and care my parents gave me.

I began my education at Nang Chaung KG School and studied there until Grade 6. After being forced to flee Myanmar due to persecution, I continued my education in Bangladesh, completing my basic studies at Life Destination High School in Rohingya Refugee Camp 6.

Career and Achievements

Education became a light in the darkness of refugee life. I was honored to be selected among the top 10 in an essay and letter writing competition organized by the Rohingya Youth Initiative – RYI. Later, I achieved one of the top 2 positions in my Grade 12 exams.

Currently, I serve as a professional teacher under the Jagorani Chakra Foundation (JCF). Alongside my teaching career, I am committed to advocating for justice and writing about the struggles and hopes of the Rohingya people. My interest in writing and research continues to grow, fueled by my passion for truth and justice.

Struggles and Challenges

Being a Rohingya has meant facing constant challenges. I have endured discrimination, the loss of homeland, and limited opportunities for education and personal growth. The Myanmar government forced us from our land, stripping me of the rights and chances I deserved.

Yet, despite everything, I continue to dream. I aspire to become a professional writer and poet for my community—someone who can give voice to the voiceless and share our untold stories with the world.

Legacy and Impact

Though I now live in a refugee camp, I carry within me a heart full of dreams. My past is marked by persecution and loss, but I remain committed to building a better future through education, creativity, and hope.

One of my poems, titled “Dream as a Refugee”, expresses the journey of my soul and the resilience of my people. I am still writing, still dreaming—to become not just a teacher or a refugee, but a voice, a poet, and a writer for change.

@Nur Kader NC

A dreamer, a survivor, and an emerging voice of the Rohingya people. After completing a writing workshop organized by Life Destination High School , he began telling his own story as the author of his autobiography.

DREAM AS A REFUGEE

None choose to be in this life;
No dream alive to achieve
Dreaming as a refugee is not a choice.

To imagine the future is
disgusting;
          Dream is still a dream existing.
Dream as is not a choice.

Loading thousands of dream in mind;
       But a dream within refugee is a crime.
Dream as a refugee is not a choice.

Surviving in makeshift shelter;
      No dream to help a life arise.
A dream as a refuge is not a choice


Rarely hold up a dream to secure,
But for refugees, even hope feels unsure.
A dream as a refugee is not a choice.
