"To regular children living in Trinidad, more specifically the village near his home, Alan had everything this world could offer: big house, fashionable clothes, tasty food, fancy parties, plenty of toys and the list could go on. But Alan was wishing for a life like theirs --he believed they had everything (not knowing their true state). What Alan wanted was freedom and fun.
