Bhuwan Pyakurel

Bhuwan Pyakurel is a prominent member of the Bhutanese Nepali community in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, and made history as the first Nepali-Bhutanese elected official in the United States. He has been actively involved in supporting his community, especially in light of the recent deportations that have instilled fear among local residents. Pyakurel, who spent 18 years in a refugee camp in Nepal before resettling in the US, is a vital advocate for Bhutanese Nepalis, helping them navigate the complexities of immigration and citizenship in the current political climate.
