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. For more information on ball tickets and other events, check out the INC website. For more on Saunder's hectic schedule, check out CW on shelves now.
