Abstract
Rohingya refugees are a stateless Muslim community in Myanmar, bordering Bangladesh, fleing violence, and sought asylum in Bangladesh. A majority of them, in Myanmar and in Bangladesh, do not have access to modern education and remained unschooled for generations. Community Radio Naf, based in Teknaf, with technical support from DW Akademie—Germany’s leading media organization funded by the German Foreign Ministry, provides training to group of youths, both from the Rohingya community and nearby host community, and designed a radio magazine show where their voices are heard. The radio show Voice of Palong gives voices not only to Rohingya but also gives spaces to various international humanitarian organizations who are in dire need to disseminate their own messages in the camp settlement.
