Angelina Jolie:”The Rohingya crisis . . . Is a powerful example of what happens when people around the world, and across societies, come together in response to a cause greater than themselves. And I pray that generosity and support continues for the Rohingya and their families.” https://t.co/HPnvVMP6G3

Angelina Jolie: "I am therefore thankful that here in Bangladesh, Rohingya refugees have their existence recognized, and are being provided by the Government and UNHCR with documentation and proof of their identity – in some instances for the very first time in their lives." https://t.co/ndQ4Oid0ba

@wxpizza @pbspiegel I was not sure myself but checked Coursera under climate change and environment and found many courses available. Language and earlier education will be a barrier for most. (https://t.co/fcQ6Bffiqm)

@Offce0fRG @pbspiegel Indeed, Raul. These Rohingya refugees have been in Bangladesh since the early 90s, have phones, speak English and are participating through Coursera. For most Rohingya refugees, however, access to education remains limited at primary level and unavailable for teenagers.
