Ramesh Lal Shrestha is the president of the Nepal Federation for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (http://www.nfdh.org.np/). Within NFDH, there are 24 deaf associations throughout Nepal, from the Terai to the Annapurna Himalaya to the Kathmandu Valley.
Ramesh was just elected to a two-year term a few months ago, and he is also president of the Kavre Deaf Association, located on the rim of the Kathmandu Valley in the same area as the Kavre Deaf School. Now he and his lovely wife live in Kathmandu, and work in the hostel and the kitchen of the Naxal Deaf School, making lunches of chappatis and chickpeas, samosas, Newari soup, or momos.
Ramesh is one of busiest men I've met in Nepal, between his work for the school and NFDH. It's no surprise to me that he was elected to be the NFDH president. In addition to many years of being a leader in the deaf community and teaching sign language, he is a gifted speaker with a great sense of humor.
