Rohingya Life

Great to meet people from around the world! Thank you to the  FreedomFilmFest ’s organizing committee for inviting me and my other rohingya friends to watch documentaries at  FreedomFilmFest 2019 ! It's amazing to meet all of you and wonderful time with great people. I really appreciate being part of this network. A place where it’s protected.

Starting my activism from refugee life in Bangladesh (13 years old), I am always happy to form friendship and connecting with people around the world.
