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

Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom completed a four-day visit to Bangladesh, returning after eight years in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. UNICEF confirmed the trip through a post on its official Facebook page, while Bloom shared photos and reflections on his Instagram account.

Visit to Rohingya Camps

During his stay, Bloom visited the Rohingya refugee camps in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar. He met with Rohingya children, teachers, and community workers, learning about the educational programmes running inside 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 11 million Rohingya refugees, over half of them children,” UNICEF quoted Bloom as saying.

Bloom spoke emotionally about the challenges facing Rohingya children and youth, noting the impact of funding cuts on their education and access to essentials.

“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,” he added.

Messages of Hope

Bloom emphasized the determination and optimism he witnessed among the children he met during his visit.

“Two children I talked to fully represent the Rohingya people’s resilience — 14-year-old Aziz who told me he dreams of becoming an engineer to build a drone and show the world the situation the Rohingya are going through.”
