She is the daughter of Dr. Aamir and Mrs. Mariah Jamal, both kind and avid supporters of OBAT. Young Cheyaan is committed to raising awareness to the refugee crises throughout the world. She aims to help other young people learn and engage with important issues.
She authored a book, “Qasim’s Book of Adventures,” to highlight the challenges faced by Rohingya refugees. It is a story about a boy named Qasim who grew up in a refugee camp and finds a mysterious book that allows him to go on all sorts of adventures. The book has become a finalist for the Best Global Muslim Children’s Books.
An Amazon reviewer describes the book as follows:
“This story of a refugee child who discovers adventure and friendship. Set in the midst of sadness and crisis, the book sheds light on the plight of the Rohingya but is presented in a child-centered way about a boy in a refugee camp. The sweet story of Qasim who remains hopeful and adventurous makes the book an enjoyable experience for little ones.”
Cheyaan has generously dedicated 100% of the book sales to be donated to OBAT Helpers. Many thanks to Cheyaan for her creativity and compassion!
