Little Princes by Conor Grennan

This book is the account of a almost 30 year old man who wants to go on a world tour. So he doesn't seem selfish he decides to "volunteer" somewhere first, you know be humanitarian and all, it's helps get girls. This is how Conor Grennan ends up at an orphanage in war torn Nepal and how his life is changed forever.

This story is well written and made me both laugh and cry. Mr. Grennan is so honest with his thoughts that you know he is a real person. The love he develops for these children and the quest he undertakes is awe inspiring. If I was 20 yrs younger and had the money to travel I would love to do something like this. Isn't that how most of us are though, "if..." well he did and still does help the children of Nepal.
