Zia is 13 years old and lives in the world’s largest Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh. Like many children in the camp, he faces a life of hardship with limited opportunities. Yet, he has found joy and comfort in caring for his myna bird, which often sits on his shoulder as his closest companion. Zia says the bird makes him feel happy and less lonely in the crowded camp. Recently, the myna has begun to speak like people, making him even more proud and joyful. Through this special bond, Zia holds on to hope and dreams of a peaceful future.
