Also, children have time to study and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three years later\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three years have passed since the gas stoves were delivered to the Rohingya refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When JTS volunteers revisited the refugee camp in 2022, they were impressed by the green forest that has regrown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In October last year, upon receiving a request from the UN for additional gas stoves, JTS visited manufacturers in Dhaka, Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In March of this year, JTS signed a contract to purchase 100,000 gas stoves. The manufacturing and the delivery of the gas stoves are expected to be completed around July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope that the second shipment of the gas stoves are delivered safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"For a Green Rohingya Refugee Camp","post_excerpt":"Follow-up Story of JTS\u2019s Gas Stove Donation to the Rohingya Refugees\n","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"for-a-green-rohingya-refugee-camp","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-05-07 02:11:36","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-07 07:11:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=12777","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_37"}; Follow-up Story of JTS\u2019s Gas Stove Donation to the Rohingya Refugees<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"JTS Relief Aid for Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"jts-relief-aid-for-rohingya-refugees-in-bangladesh","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-05-07 02:11:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-07 07:11:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=13596","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12777,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2022-06-17 19:02:36","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-18 00:02:36","post_content":"\n Follow-up Story of JTS\u2019s Gas Stove Donation to the Rohingya Refugees<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"JTS Relief Aid for Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"jts-relief-aid-for-rohingya-refugees-in-bangladesh","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-05-07 02:11:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-07 07:11:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=13596","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12777,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2022-06-17 19:02:36","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-18 00:02:36","post_content":"\n Follow-up Story of JTS\u2019s Gas Stove Donation to the Rohingya Refugees<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"JTS Relief Aid for Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"jts-relief-aid-for-rohingya-refugees-in-bangladesh","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-05-07 02:11:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-07 07:11:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=13596","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12777,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2022-06-17 19:02:36","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-18 00:02:36","post_content":"\n Follow-up Story of JTS\u2019s Gas Stove Donation to the Rohingya Refugees<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"JTS Relief Aid for Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"jts-relief-aid-for-rohingya-refugees-in-bangladesh","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-05-07 02:11:35","post_modified_gmt":"2024-05-07 07:11:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=13596","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12777,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2022-06-17 19:02:36","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-18 00:02:36","post_content":"\n Follow-up Story of JTS\u2019s Gas Stove Donation to the Rohingya Refugees<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join Together Society (JTS) field officers Jungyeon Choi and Soonyoung Kim were deployed to Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh on January 10, 2018 for emergency relief aid.
