<div>Dear Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Welcome to <a href="https://www.rohingyatographer.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Rohingyatographer Magazine</strong></a>, a powerful refugee-led photography project that captures the essence of life in the world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. Our mission is clear: to raise awareness about the Rohingya situation and preserve their collective memory through the lens of talented Rohingya photographers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our journey began in 2021 when <a href="https://www.rohingyatographer.org/sahat-zia-hero" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sahat Zia Hero</a> and <a href="https://www.rohingyatographer.org/david-palazon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Palazón</a> united to create this transformative initiative. Rohingyatographer Magazine is a creative platform, empowering Rohingya youth to advocate for themselves and connect with the international community, showcasing their collective memory and resilience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have successfully published <a href="https://www.rohingyatographer.org/magazine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">two issues</a> of Rohingyatographer Magazine, with the first one focusing on the theme of identity and the second highlighting the community’s relationship with nature. Currently, we are in the process of producing our third issue,: "The Food Issue." This upcoming edition will celebrate the unifying power of food in the Rohingya community, sharing their culinary traditions and heartfelt stories. With the <a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/06/1137252" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent cuts to food rations</a> in the refugee camps, this is a topic on every refugee’s mind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, to make this vision a reality, we need your support more than ever. By supporting this campaign, you can help elevate the Rohingya experience, shedding light on their challenges and inspiring change.
