Sudarshan Pyakurel

is a community-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2012. Every day, the BCCO provides direct services, education and hope to the newly resettled and secondary migration Bhutanese American refugee population in Central Ohio, which at more than 27,000 is the largest Bhutanese-Nepali community in the country. Many city, county, state agencies, organizations and businesses rely on the BCCO for its culturally appropriate expertise and leadership. The BCCO also serves as a national model and resource for other cities in Ohio and across the U.S. which serve refugee communities.
