“I have been over here about ten years now and I hate seeing homeless people on the streets. It reminds me of the situation back home.
“Modelling is my dream. I hope that I can be a role model and help people back home.
“I want to go back to Burma soon and help the Rohingyan Mulsims, but not until I know I can financially support them – I will feel ashamed until I can.”
Yeasin Mohammed explained his passion for modelling and what it means to him he said:
“I was struggling, but modelling gave me focus and something to work towards and it is an opportunity to give my family a good life.

Yeasin then went on to detail his recent success and how he wants this to continue on and where he wants to end up he explained:
“I’ve been doing this for a year and I have come so far and I want to carry on and become a professional and work on television, I am doing a bit of background at the minute but I want to be at the front.
“In one year I have already won so many different competitions and appeared in many others which is a surprise to me and I just want to keep on surprising people.
“I have a dream to have a better life and my family and friends motivate me to achieve this.
“I’m from Burma and have never had a chance to see the world or a chance of a dream as I grew up in a refugee camp. I want to be a figure who others can look up to and aspire to and give people back home hope.
“I believe in myself, I just need someone to believe in me and give me that chance, I want to help other people to be as lucky as me and show that there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
