Conor Grennan, Founder of Next Generation Nepal
Conor Grennan left his day job in 2004 at age 29 to travel the world. At the beginning of his journey, he spent three months volunteering at a children’s home in war-torn Nepal. It was there that he discovered a harrowing truth about these children. Shortly after, he founded Next Generation Nepal, an NGO that’s addressing the exact challenge he uncovered.
He’s the New York Times Best Selling Author of The Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal, the memoir that chronicles his amazing journey.
