Rojina Bibi’s classroom

“I had to escape to save my life, just like my students. At least I am an adult, while they are only small children.

One day, when our motherland is peaceful again, I want all my students to be able to read, write and think in their mother language.

I want them to believe they can be all they want to be, despite what they have witnessed.

I may not have a home anymore, but I can use my education to make a difference.

I want my students to know they can too.”

Rojina Bibi is one of more than 700 Rohingya teachers who are helping teach more than 58,000 children in their own language.
