Two weeks ago, I saw the mountains of Myanmar from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Today, I see the mountains of Myanmar from Thailand 🇹🇭. Time for me to see the mountains of Myanmar...in Myanmar 🇲🇲 #thailand #myanmar #bangladesh #sophieskipstown #travel #travelling #perspectives #sunset #asia #southeastasia #rpstafftravels
We like to put labels on people. Refugee, migrant, foreigner, local...everyone has a label. I step on a plane in my country labeled as a local. I step off that plane in a new country labeled as a foreigner. Sometimes labels create barriers. People see us in a different way. But when relationships are built, barriers are broken -- these labels become obsolete. Today is the day to honor the individuals whose label changed overnight. They weren't always labeled as refugees. And they won't be refugees forever. Labels can change. But they don't change a person. These are the people who have taught me how to live life to the fullest. They have welcomed me into their homes as their daughter, sister, and friend. It's only a matter of time when their label will change. But their stories, relationships, and hope for the future is something that is not easily changed.

We can't change where we were born nor can we change the history of our people. We can't control when the sun will rise or when it will set. What we can control is the way we use our time between that sunrise and sunset. These past couple of months have taught me about what I can and cannot control...and how we can use our time to make life truly valuable. Thankful for all the incredible friends I've made in Bangladesh who make that time from sunrise to sunset so precious and valuable.

Sometimes life gets a little crazy and things seem overwhelming. Take a step back and look at the big picture. Epic drone shots help with that. Photo creds: @nihab_rahman #dhaka #bangladesh #shipbreakers #ship #perspectives #travel #sophieskipstown
#Repost @books__unbound • • • • • • Sometimes school isn't an option. Even if it is, there might not be books. There are barriers of entry to formal learning. That's when informal learning takes place. We are honored to see our Rohingya project come to life in the camps in collaboration with @obat_haprelief. Education is such a need here. These books make an impact. We're seeing it firsthand in Bangladesh. We need your help to keep these projects going. Donate to Books Unbound today so we can get more books to these kids! ©️ 2019 | @nihab_rahman #refugees #refugeecrisis #rohingyarefugees #humanitarianaid #refugeecamp #bangladesh #humaninterest #balukhalicamp #wewelcomerefugees #kutupalongcamp #documentaryphotography #unhcr_bgd #unicefbangladesh #kutupalong #coxsbazar #aidworker #documentary #balukhali #candidchildhood #bbc #worldpressphoto #ctgn #humanity_shots #photooftheday #people_infinity
The only thing I didn't capture in this photo was the cow charging at a woman near me 😱 Sunset views on the world's longest beach 🇧🇩 #thisisbangladesh
