Inside Orlando Bloom’s Unpublicised Trip to Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar

Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom recently concluded a four-day visit to Bangladesh, marking his return after eight years in his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. UNICEF confirmed the trip via their official Facebook page, while Bloom shared photos and reflections on his Instagram.

Visit to Rohingya Camps

During his visit, Bloom traveled to the Rohingya camps in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, home to the world’s largest refugee camp. He engaged with Rohingya children, teachers, and community workers to learn about the education programs currently active within the camps.

“I’m back in Bangladesh after over eight years and this time I traveled to Cox’s Bazar, to the world’s largest refugee camp. It’s home to over 1.1 million Rohingya refugees, over half of them children.”

“My conversations this week with Rohingya children and youth, as well as community workers and teachers, have been heartbreaking. Rohingya children WANT to study and build their futures, but funding cuts are threatening their access to education and basic services like soap and clean water.”

Stories of Resilience

Bloom recalled meeting two children who embody the resilience of the Rohingya people. One of them, 14-year-old Aziz, expressed his dream:

“Aziz told me he dreams of becoming an engineer to build a drone and show the world the situation the Rohingya are going through.”
