Little Princes; Grennan's Greatness
In the midst of a civil war, poverty and despair Grenan
comes to Nepal for three months volunteer at the Nepalese orphanage, Little
Princes Children’s Home, located at Godhabari. While working with them he
discovers the story of many children who have been trafficked during insurgency
from the remotest part of Nepal, Humla. The children of the Little Priences
Home melted his heart; as a result he made the decision to work for the
homeless children of Kathmandu who were brought there by traffickers like
Golkka.
He then works with Dhaulagiri House where many
children shelters. He coordinates with other men who have been working in this
field and collects the helpless children rescuing them from the dark rooms of
kathamandu valley. Then one day he knows that the children who are supposed to
be orphan do have parents. Thinking that he can reunite them with their
parents, he moves to Humla where he has to walk on foot for many days. Besides,
the Maoist rebels are the threat for any westerners moving in these places.
Despite several hurdles, Grenan becomes able to find out the families of the
children who are living at Little Princess House. He becomes so happy looking
at the faces of the parents with their shining faces and images of their sons
and daughters. He forgets hunger, pain and threat of the Maoists. Then he
returns with the photographs of the children’s parents to Kathmandu. He shares
the moment of joy with the Farid and the children. Then he decides to raise a
fund to open a Next Generation Nepal, an organization to reunite the children
with their parents, families.
Moreover, it also depicts the struggle of Grennan in
the streets and hospitals of Kathmandu over day and nights. The only oasis in
the life of Grennan is an Amerian girl Lizzie with whom he shares everything
and gets strong support and encouragement. She also visits Nepal and stays a
few days working with the children of
Little Princess. Their heart gets closer seeking a soft spot at each other’s
heart. As a result, they get married and
live in the USA with their son.
Although, they live in the USA, Connor raises the fund to run the NGN founded
by him in Nepal. Now, NGN is located in Humla where the children read and live
with the office staff.
Conor came to Nepal in 2004 to travel the world and
volunteer in Nepal. He would eventually return to Nepal and found Next
Generation Nepal, an organization dedicated to reconnecting trafficked children
with their families and combating the root causes of child trafficking in rural
villages in Nepal. He was based in the capital of Kathmandu until September
2007 where he was the Executive Director of Next Generation Nepal.
