KUTUPULANG: When Mohammad Rafiq spotted two Rohingya refugee girls dusting their faces with circles of traditional thanaka powder under the warm morning light, he quickly took out his smartphone to capture the moment.
"The idea behind it is to be able to hand back the narrative to the people that we are already assisting," WFP spokeswoman Gemma Snowdon told AFP. All the Rohingya posters have a similar goal - to share with the outside world the raw, emotional ups and downs they face living in the world's largest refugee camp.
When he was 15, Rafiq's father bought him his first-ever smartphone as a present. Thrilled with the device, he explored his town in Myanmar's northern Rakhine state, taking photos of everything he loved. Mohammad Rafiq is among some 30 Rohingya youths selected by the World Food Programme for its 'Storytellers' project.
