Story
The Rohingya people have been persecuted in Myanmar for many years. They have been denied citizenship and have lived life on the margins. Now, according to the United Nations they are being systematically 'ethnically cleansed' from Rakhine Province in Myanmar. In the last few weeks 370,000 refugees have left their homes and crossed the border into Bangladesh. Men, women and children have been maimed, torched and killed by the Government, soldiers and extremists. This horrific pogrom is Darfur all over again, and we said we would never let it happen again. The refugees need shelter, water and food in Bangladesh, and through our event - ALL IN FOR ROHINGYA - and this fundraising page we hope to raise money towards that aim. PLEASE help.
