I'm excited to bring you a conversation with Gordon Halm, founder and executive director of the African Community Center of Lowell.

The African Community Center of Lowell (ACCL) was founded in August 2016.  On October 29th the same year, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate its founding.



From working at the then African Assistance Center of Lowell and the International Institute of New England (IINE Lowell), Founder and Executive Director Gordon Halm, an immigrant himself knows first-hand the significant hardships involved in trying to adapt in a different environment.  There is the language barrier and a general loss as where to go for basic services, ethnic foods as well as offer one’s services to the new community.

You can learn more about the ACCL on their website, www.acclowell.org or their Facebook Page.
