The Himalayan Arts Language and Cultural Academy (HALCA), established in Akron, Ohio, in 2014 by Puspa Gajmer, stands as a testament to the power of cultural preservation, education, and community empowerment. Rooted in a mission to celebrate and preserve the rich heritage of the Nepali people, HALCA envisions itself as a vital platform that bridges cultures and builds inclusive communities. Beyond its dedication to Nepali traditions, HALCA extends a welcoming hand to a diverse community, fostering a sense of unity through shared experiences in arts, language, music, and dance.
