He is the President and Founder of Next Generation Nepal, and the author of the New York Times and #1 international bestselling memoir Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal, which has been translated into twelve languages so far and has received a bunch of pretty cool awards.

Little Princes is the powerful story about finding a way to make positive change in the face of the most selfish efforts of others. It is a true story that is both heartbreaking and hopeful. You will meet children that you will not forget and maybe even feel inspired to create change in little and big ways.
