To Southeast Asia now west and me in ma is home to the range of people according to the un that one of the worlds most persecuted minority groups in mainly buddhist me and mom the predominantly muslim or hinge are not allowed to vote they have no access to Higher Education and their villages and places of worship are frequently attacked several 100 settlements have been set alight and many residents killed. Many russian jet have fled the country around 900000 now live in neighboring bangladesh others have sought refuge in India Pakistan indonesia and malaysia but that host countries are often anything but welcoming. Abu civics desperate journey began in 2014 over nice you had to flee his fishing village. Together with thousands of other Rohingya Muslims he fled the militarys brutal persecution in his home country of me and maher. A lot about it that they came to burn down our houses we ran for our lives then a fire engine came and we thought it would put out the fire instead it sprayed gasoline onto the fire and the entire village burst into flames. Eventually the dick ended up in the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur many who traveled with him on the secret smuggling routes died along the way at liberty we lost everything of our homes our land our identity now we are stuck in our country and we know nothing about. I mean and also you know its your money. Nearly 180000 refugees and Asylum Seekers live in malaysia most of the. For decades the country has refused to sign the Un Geneva Convention of 951 for malaysias refugees that means no recognised status no protection and no rights. Children are the worst affected malaysia hinders their access to an education 2 thirds of the children do not go to school at all the rest attend informal learning centers such as the future school. Deborah henry founded the private school in 2009 its funded by donations many of the children here are traumatised. I remember when i 1st started working for the students we did this activity i gave them pieces of paper and crayons and i said to them just draw something you know your family and your favorite things in their pages remained black and what caused that why why were they not able to dream and to and to create and to think outside of the box and i think theyve gone through so much that you just couldnt they couldnt see beyond now what do you do to like stories someones imagination to get them dreaming and. d d the children learn english and math to the future in school and theyre encouraged to develop selfconfidence and a sense of personal responsibility d when theyre ready to put in the effort they can achieve a lot thats the message that founder Deborah Henry wants to send to the. Scientists. Trying to sign you know that. Finds. That. Deborah henry began working as a fashion model when she was 15 she became one of the most famous beauty. Queens of malaysia but then she had the idea to put her fame to good use to fight for refugees rights. With this movement i posted a documentary that i visited these refugees out is living 20 minutes from our beautiful twin towers and i couldnt believe that they were here in malaysia in my home and they were going to school and i think that was a big turning point for a kid in this well today without an education or setting them up to me. After fleeing me in march abu sidique struggled for 6 years to survive in malaysia. 6 years in which he had no legal work permit and was forced to do odd jobs to feed himself and his family. 6 years in which they received no medical care. I mean we miss our homeland very much we ask the International Community to find justice for us we want to go home if we can we cant bear living as refugees in a foreign country we hope that the International Community will help end the conflict so that my country can be of peace and we could return to our homeland god willing. Theres no beach on a. Journey is not over yet the United States approved his asylum application a few weeks ago. His wife and their 2 children will be resettled in the midwest a 2nd new beginning. Something hundreds of thousands of others in malaysia can only dream about many refugees here feel abandoned by the government without an official status and opportunities theyve been silenced and marginalized. The average malaysian will live life and never meet a refugee and so why should a refugee matter to them how is this going to affect their lives how do we tell that story of what it means to be a refugee the fact that is anyone can be a refugee its not a function of your wealth your education and privilege anyone can be a refugee just like that and so what then what role do you play when your in a position where you are born into a state country where you dont have conflict and war how can you then lend a hand to someone else and me. With her a few gee school Deborah Henry has made it possible for 400. 00 refugee children to receive an education and she will continue to fight for Refugee Rights in malaysia.

To men with one vision. And 2 bode want to transform the Construction Industry with cement. 3 concrete with support from businesses theyre constructing a display house its their 1st attempt to use the material in their impishness project a significant step toward their goal its kind of an amazing feeling we didnt think much of this this week its good to think. Because there was a lot of and we are quite happy to see the city londoner spent years researching cement free Building Materials at the Swiss Federal Institute of technology in zurich cement is responsible for 8 percent of worldwide Carbon Emissions a more sustainable Building Material is long overdue languid founded on construction sites where every year millions of tons of clay based excavation materials are disposed of but when theyre mixed with a naturally occurring mineral and water they result in a Construction Material thats more environmentally friendly than standard concrete walls and call it the cement free of concrete is up to 90 percent. C o 2 production compared to conventional concrete and there are advantages that we dont all. Like primary role much to have come from a place in crowd from inside and. In some areas in the water but we use fashion waste the landfill most of the time and. Its been much as cheap to therefore like and reduce the price of the material. Of this earth concrete can be processed more or less like standard concrete but it currently around half the cost. Yes the landreau was inspired by building practices in his home country he grew up in togo where clay or earth houses are. Common sight in many countries in africa cement this.

We need the media response we need in the media interventions and electric mobility is one of those because it is easier to know. The structure they need they dont need so you can have a computer. And or. Varmint part but that path requires pioneers like korean and he wouldnt be. The graduates of parkin university in germany how do problematic idea take your riddick system fuel motorbikes in kampala and transform them into electric bikes. So all we remove is what you call the petrol powered train petrol driven. And electric culture and so as you can see its the same bike fuel truck just empty of course. And what were put inside is mainly a controller and the electrical. Electric motor. About tree as a source of power replacing the fuel tank. Some digital controls of throttle the theory but shes recovered old laptops are assembled into Rechargeable Battery units for the e bike and the recycling loop continues even when the batteries become too weak to use in the e bikes so what we do get on your batteries use it for your mobility after that when they lose a bit of power we either put it put it in Storage Systems like power or power resolves one loses again power we go to torches and other small obligations before it goes through to be disposed. Delivery month france is so clear is one of the 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. On average he has to return to board a walk twice a day to recharge. He rents the parties for the event of less than 3 euros a day. All in all these says cards of marketing costs by half but there is still one thing that bothers him.

Same boys are already creating employment sorrow tabel couldnt find a job for 2 years now shes in charge of marketing actually it makes me feel very very proud of myself that im contributing. Not to be part of the great team which is actually pretty beating. To immobility for a small fee of just over half a euro is him but driver can exchange and into battery for a fully charged 1. 00. This important like some little green says the electricity comes from the solar energy i read on top of the companys beauty. For more solar charging points a plan to keep on as soon. Energy is generated within the country not like you which is imported from outside so this has a huge impact on the environment. And we were briefed.
