In the beginning, Conor Grennan came to Nepal to start his one year trip around the world. Volunteering at the Little Princes Orphanage seemed like the perfect idea. Not only would it make his trip seem a little selfish, but it would also help him avoid any harrassment back home. If someone said he was foolish, then he could say, "I didn't think volunteering at an Orphanage was a bad thing." or something of the sort. It would stump people mid-sentence and get them off his back. Even if the trip was dangerous, and maybe even irresponsible. He still wanted to take a vacation, and travel the world. Even climb some mountains maybe.
As he got further into his trip, and got to the orphanage, he got attatched. Even if the children are becoming used to volunteers coming and going, Conor felt it very difficult to just desert the children. He even tried convincing his self that he hasn't seen t.v. in months, he was dirty, cold, and he hasn't even went out to meet any women. He even thought of his mother, and how sad she would be if he left home all the time. Her sad look got to him and reminded him of the poor children he would be leaving.
In the end, he decided to return to the children in Nepal after he has toured the world. Even if it was a year later, he still felt the need to return to the children. A touching story this is turning out to be so far.
