I hope that you would to take a few minutes of your time, by watching this presentation about Rohingya refugee history. This presentation highlights their history starting since the British colonization of Myanmar to present day.

As I have been doing this blog and updating my social media posts, I have noticed that some people are actually interested in this crisis and want others to be aware of this issue. For example, on my social media account, several people had been liking several of my posts that are focused on this crisis. In addition, my petition had been getting some signatures, in order for news stations to put more emphasis on this ongoing issue with the Rohingya.

When I created this presentation, my research mainly focused on Myanmar and Rohingya’s history through the use of scholarly sources. For example, I used Academic Search Premier, National Geographic, and various other websites in order to get information on the Rohingya’s history. After I collected all of my information, I structured my presentation by putting each event in chronological order. For this project, I used PowerPoint, made voice overs, and bullet points to share this information.

While doing this project, I learned more about Myanmar’s history during the British colonial era. I also learned more about the living conditions of Rohingya refugee camps. As more Rohingya refugees flee Myanmar, get terrorized, or killed, it becomes increasingly important to raise awareness about this issue. This way, with more people educated about the Rohingya and willing to help this group, a better life for these refugees will happen.
