An outstanding Nepali Christian leader, Shaha Gurung died suddenly on May 16.

Born on January 23 1960, in the village of Ghachok near Machhapuchhre (‘Fishtail’) mountain, Shaha began a 25-year career with International Nepal Fellowship (INF) in 1978 as a paramedic in leprosy rehabilitation in Pokhara.

Later Shaha was given overall responsibility for INF leprosy rehabilitation work and travelled extensively, visiting families and communities in Nepal’s Terai plains and the hill districts of the western regions. As a result he gained a great understanding of his country and people.
