The Irish cultural warrior

　 The Irish cultural warrior

GPS company employee by day, tireless Irish culture promoter by night, Colin Saunders takes CW along for a day in his shoes. Organizing the capital"s Irish community on top of a 9 to 5 makes for a long day, but Saunders gets through it with a little help from his friends, and a pint of Guinness. In addition to upcoming fund raising nights for a charity event called "Bright Eyes" that helps cataract sufferers get the operations they need and running a monthly networking event at Paddy O"Shea"s, Saunders and the Irish Network China team organize the annual Irish ball. The night of fun, Irish-style, is an increasingly popular affair that lures in more guests than there are Irish in Beijing.
