By Ali Horriyat

Welcome to a journey unlike any other. The Adventures of Compassion will take you on a global expedition, not in search of buried treasure or lost civilisations, but something far more valuable: compassion.

Ali Horriyat’s childhood was filled with the insatiable curiosity and daring spirit of Tintin, igniting a yearning to explore the world and connect with its diverse people and cultures. That spark transformed into a lifelong journey, taking Ali to corners of the world both familiar and far-flung. Each journey wasn’t just about ticking destinations off a list; it was about forging connections, immersing himself in local stories, and witnessing the triumphs and struggles that bind us all.

But amidst the beauty, Ali also encountered the stark realities of social challenges—poverty, inequality, and injustice that cast long shadows across communities. Inspired by Tintin’s spirit of adventure, he embarked on a different kind of quest: a quest to explore the transformative power of compassion. Each story in this book takes you to a different corner of the world, from bustling city streets to serene rural villages. You’ll meet characters grappling with real-world issues, from environmental degradation to social conflict, and witness how acts of compassion, big and small, can spark change. So open your heart, pack your empathy, and prepare to embark on a journey of compassion in action.
