AND YET WE SURVIVE

“As Rohingya refugees, we survive with limited resources year-round—but when the rains arrive, our struggle deepens. Our shelters—made of bamboo and tarpaulin—cannot withstand strong winds or heavy rainfall. Flooding, landslides, and waterlogging become daily threats. Some families lose everything overnight. Others live in fear, watching their walls sag, their roofs drip, wondering if this will be the night everything falls apart.” – RB Hafizu –

And yet, they keep going, as they have for eight years. Yes, they have an indomitable spirit.

Can we who live in comfortable homes – safe from the storms – imagine living with such danger always looming?

Perhaps it’s because they have clung so well to their faith which says:

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'” (Psalm 91:1-2)
