Nur Asma is 10 years old.
She lives in the Rohingya refugee camp in Coxs Bazar, Bangladesh, with her family.
She has four siblings; she is the third child in the family.Nur loves creative play crafting, making horses and utensils out of mud, making a chicken coop from bamboo, that sort of thing, and she loves studying too.
She is very shy and introverted.
She does everything silently and plays alone.
Perhaps she just loves spending time alone.
She is a girl who wants to create something new by herself and doesnt want to copy from others.While I was talking this picture, I was totally surprised to see her playing like this with trees.
She collected the caps of water bottles to plant things in.
She hopes to grow many trees because there have been accidental fires in the camp, and a lot of trees have burned down.
People in the camp suffer a lot due to the unbearable heat, especially in summer, so the Rohingya here plant as much as they can, hoping to create a fresh green environment with cool space under the trees.Nur has seen her grandmother plant trees near to their shelter, so she is doing the same even though it seems as if she is only playing.Sign up for Her Stage to hear directly from incredible women in the developing world on the issues that matter to them, delivered to your inbox monthly:Sign up for Her Stage please check your spam folder for the confirmation email.
