Bhuwan's Story

Hope Was There

Bhuwan Pyakurel lived in a refugee camp with his family for 18 years before being resettled by Global Refuge. He was elected to the city council of Reynoldsburg, Ohio in 2020—the first-ever Bhutanese-Nepali to be elected to office in the United States.

You have a right to change. You can vote. If you don't like the person who is in that office, you can run for office.
