Little Princes by Conor Grennan Lost Children of Nepal
I am currently reading an amazing true story called Little Princes (One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal) written by Conor Grennan.
It is extremely well written. I picked it up and literally did not put it down until I
fell asleep 4 hours later. I resume this morning!
It's the incredibly true story of a young man who volunteered in an orphanage in
Kathmandu, Nepal during the civil war around 2004-2006. He found out the
children weren't orphaned but their parents had been tricked into thinking if they
gave up their entire life savings their children would be send away to school and
a better life. They were then sold into the army, sex trade or abandoned in orphanages.
When Conor found out they were separated from their real parents
to he set out to find the parents.
He started a non-profit to help the thousands of children who fell into this category,
started his own orphanage to help kids. Money from the sale of the book goes to his
organization NGN (Next Generation Nepal).

I highly recommend it.
