Conor
Grennan
I enjoy reviewing
his book since an author who I admire the most wrote it. This author, Conor
Grennan, has achieved so much, including climbing to the base camp of Mount
Everest and having visited some of the beautiful places around the world. His
book differs from most authors, considering the manner in which he narrated his
story of how he rescued some of the Nepali children from human traffickers and
successfully uniting them with their families. Conor Grennan is also known for
having formed an international non-profit organization as narrated in his
famous book. Due to these reasons, Grennan has done a good job of inspiring
those who get the chance of reading his book and especially the way he uses his
sense of humor, humility and charm, while at it.
His
honesty is also evident as he argues that going to work at the orphanage
(Godowari) is more of an excuse to enjoy a one-year trip around the world as
well as an excuse to stay away from work. While at the orphanage in Godowari,
he would have a chance to go out with girls whom he would have to meet at the
bars and have an opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest.
Grennan arrived in
Nepal in 2004, a time when things were not good. This was attributed to the
fact that, Maoist rebels were not only fighting
against the royal Nepalese government, but also the impoverished population
lived in unsanitary conditions, lacked running water, lacked electricity and
child trafficking mechanism had taken root. Conor is now a survivor and does
not seem bothered by the fact that, things are not as normal as he would have
wanted them to be.
Evidently, Conor is a survivor of his own as he has been
able to see what is at hand and accept it as part of his life. More so, he was
able to bond with the children whom he had been working with at the orphanage
and better still, acted as if he were their parents. He admitted that he would
feel bad when the time would come for him to leave them. Due to this reason, he
promised them that he would visit again after one year.
Just as he had promised, Grennan visited the orphanage
and was surprised to find that most of the children he had been with, during
his last visit were donated to traffickers, stolen and adopted by some of the
well-wishers. As a result of this, he decided to do everything within his power
to ensure that those children would be protected from some of those calamities.
In line with that, he started a non-profit organization by the name of Next
Generation Nepal. Its main aim was to reconnect the children who had been
trafficked with their families as well as communities. He also collaborated
with an international organization, so that he would be in a better position to
buy a home for these orphaned children, where they would live without fear.
Additionally, he raised funds for their upkeep.
Clearly, “Little Princes” is one of the passionate, yet
straightforward true stories that readers can ever come across. It is quite an
entertaining story and those who may have not been impressed should look
forward to Grennan falls in love too.
