From the Battlefield of Survival to the Halls of Higher Education: Liakat Ali Roshid’s Journey

In 2022, Liakat Al Roshid applied for the RhEAP program, and 18-month academic preparation program through the Hubs for Connected Learning, that led to a scholarship to pursue a BA at Columban College in the Philippines. Here Liakat has found his calling. “I want to be the voice of the voiceless, an advocate for refugees and victims around the world,” he says. "I carry with me the hope of my people. My pen is my weapon, my words are my bullets, and my target is equality, peace, and freedom."
Read about Liakat’s journey and the role of RhEAP in securing a pathway to higher education.
