THE SONDER PROJECT YEAR 2017

BANGLADESH

In October , we wanted to help with the government-backed genocide that was happening in Myanmar ( Burma ). Here , nearly 1 million Rohingya people have fled their homes and are making long , dangerous journeys to Bangladesh in hopes of finding refuge for their families . These weary travelers are arriving malnourished , dehydrated , injured , and ill . With the help of a friend on the ground near the border , were were able to provide these refugees with muchneeded medical supplies , and a little hope for a better future .
