In search of a place called home -- The Rohingyas in Bangladesh --

Imagine fleeing your home because of unrest and persecution in the country you call home and going to a neighbouring country in the hope of seeking temporary asylum there. But sooner rather than later, you become stuck in this so-called temporary asylum for 16 plus years of your life. Well, that is the fate of the Rohingya refugees living in the south of Bangladesh very close to the border with Myanmar, known as Cox's Bazaar.
