    Here is my Saavy Reader question:

  • sylvia shaw

    Would love to win this book, not in toronto area so just would love the book

  • gema

    With all the work that you’ve personally undertaken to try and solve this crisis, do you feel that there is more awareness of this situation worldwide and that there is a widespread difference being made??

    Conor, I’m curious about the friends who initially criticized your decision. Has your experience inspired any of them to become involved in a similar humanitarian project?

    I’m not in Toronto so I won’t be able to attend the event (sucks!) but I read a bit about Little Princes and was intrigued (I would love to win a copy of the book). My questions for Connor Grenna are: What is the best way to plan a trip to volunteer in a foreign country? Can he recommend an organization that plans such trips? What not to do?
    Thanks!

  • Janet Killoran

    Can’t attend the talk but would love to read the book. I would ask the author:
    People in rural Tibet have a very different way of looking at the world than most Westerners. What would you say is the most important lesson we have to learn from them?

    My question is: “are you single?” (ok, just joking…sort of;)

    My real question: “Why did you pick Nepal of all the places in the world to take your year-long trip?” and “What is your next adventure?”
