Conor Grennan Ordine dei libri

Eher aus Zufall volontiert Conor Grennan in einem nepalesischen Waisenhaus. Doch das, was er dort erlebt und erfährt, wird sein Leben vollkommen verändern: In Wahrheit sind die Kinder keine Waisen. Ihre Eltern, meist einfache Bauern, haben sie für viel Geld Vermittlern anvertraut, die versprachen, ihnen eine bessere Zukunft zu ermöglichen. Doch die Kinder hat man ausgesetzt, und wer im Waisenhaus gelandet ist, hat noch Glück gehabt. Conor wirft alle Lebenspläne um und unternimmt das Unmögliche: Er bringt die Familien wieder zusammen.

An astonishing testament to true courage, the transformative power of love, and the ability of one man to make a real difference. In search of adventure, twenty-nine-year-old Conor Grennan embarked on a yearlong journey around the globe, beginning with a three-month stint volunteering at an orphanage in civil war–torn Nepal. But a shocking truth would forever change his life: these rambunctious, resilient children were not orphans at all but had been taken from their families by child traffickers who falsely promised to keep them safe from war before abandoning them in the teeming chaos of Kathmandu. For Conor, what started as a footloose ramble became a dangerous, dedicated mission to unite youngsters he had grown to love with the parents they had been stolen from—a breathtaking adventure, as Conor risked everything in the treacherous Nepalese mountains to bring the children home.
