Appreciation for RAR Institute
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. Kaisayr Husein, a remarkable convener and visionary behind the RAR-Institute. His hard work and dedication to empowering Rohingya youth through education, research, and discourse on critical global issues are truly inspiring. The RAR-Institute has become a vital platform for nurturing young minds, equipping Rohingya youth with immense knowledge of international humanitarian law, research methodologies, and other essential thematic areas.
It is both an honor and a great privilege to be invited as a facilitator and lecturer in this commendable institute, where many passionate young scholars from across the world come together to engage in meaningful discussions. Mr. Kaisayr’s commitment to nurturing intellectual growth and advocacy within the Rohingya community is not only commendable but transformative. His leadership has created a space where ideas flourish, perspectives are broadened, and future changemakers are nurtured.
I deeply appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this noble initiative and to be part of a movement that empowers young Rohingya voices in the global academic and policy discourse. Mr. Kaisayr, your efforts are a beacon of hope, and I look forward to continued collaboration in this important work. Thank you for your tireless efforts, dedication, and commitment to making a difference in the Rohingya community.

Appreciation for RAR Institute
Since my years as a Rohingya researcher based in the Philippines, I have met several Rohingya youth who have shown remarkable determination, positivity, and hope. One of them is Brother Mr. Kaisayr. I am honored that he invited me to speak on qualitative research for his students, and I am deeply moved by their keen interest in critically exploring Rohingya issues, their place in the world, and the realities they face.
Mr. Kaisayr is an inspiration for the Rohingya generation in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and beyond. He has achieved so much for the Rohingya community, and I am forever grateful for his dedication and remarkable journey.
The world needs individuals like Mr. Kaisayr, who, among many Rohingya, continue to drive and inspire the younger generation of Rohingya scholars in Bangladesh and Southeast Asia.

Appreciation for RAR Institute
Before meeting these wonderful students, I had several encounters with Mr. Kaisayr, and I found him to be truly amazing. That gave me an idea of what the research students he is mentoring at RAR would be like. Lo and behold, my thoughts about them have been overwhelmingly confirmed.
After a few sessions with them, I have come to realize that they are young students driven by an immense hunger for success. They are hardworking and relentlessly pushing forward to achieve their goals. What is truly mind-boggling is how they continue to thrive despite the difficult circumstances and injustices they face—many of them living in fragile tents and neglected camps.
Given the chance and opportunity, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with students from anywhere in the world.
