The man (Connor Grennan) was in
quest of a journey, he traded his job for over eight years to an adventure
around the world. His journey would start with him volunteering for three
months at an orphanage (Little Princess Children’s Home) in Nepal during the
civil war. The trip ought to have been a three month experience. However, his
trip changed his life and the lives of a number of other people. Erstwhile in
the orphanage Connor had a conversation with a woman who gave him light to the
fact that many of the children in the orphanage were not orphans but rather,
children who had been torn by child traffickers from their people. The child
traffickers promised the parents to protect their children from the civil war
for a fee. The children were left alone in Nepal and ended up in the orphanage.
For Connor the trip was supposed to be a one-time experience, but he grew fond
of the children. He became a father to the children due to his presence in
their lives.
Connors’
life changed completely when he helped the woman shelter seven children that
had been traded by the traffickers inside the orphanage. After a short period
he left Nepal and went back to his hometown. Soon after he got home a letter
arrived that reported that the seven children he had helped in the orphanage
had gone missing. The children had been snatched by the child traffickers that
had trafficked them from their homes. The news bothered him and he decided to
return to Nepal in search of the children. He was committed to the children and
promised to unite the children with their families. He would put his life in
danger and face the life threatening situations that the civil war conveyed to
re-unite the little princesses with their families. This led to Connor starting
a new orphanage and re-uniting parents with their children.
One
takes a single step that may change ones’ life forever. Connor wanted an
adventure in the world. However, his first destination of his adventure was
going to be a life time adventure. His vacation in the orphanage created
responsibility in him for the children. Connor wanted a journey that he would
not be responsible of anything; he wanted amusement. However, he had to
convince his friends and families the need of the journey. His voluntary
services to Nepal’s’ little princesses was an approach of justifying his entire
need of adventure in the world. However, his stopover in Nepal was not easy and
had a lot of responsibility. He had to take care of more or less twenty
children. He turned out to be devoted to the children and loved them wholly.
After
his stay in the orphanage he went back home and received a letter that would
sway him to return to Nepal. Many volunteers who volunteered in the orphanages
never went back to such involvements. However, due to the bonds and sense of
responsibility he had established with the children he felt responsible for
them. He had the need to protect the children and keep them safe. Therefore,
the moment he heard that some of the children had gone missing he decided to
search for them and return them to their parents in spite of the dangers the
task would convey to his life. He took the journey due to his self-interest but
ended the journey with self-sacrifice. It took one step of the journey to change
his life and those of others. His need of reuniting the children with their
parents was a selfless act.
