Simultaneous to this CPeru was being replaced by Inca Wasi. Paul, Marco, Roger Susanne and Marge agreed to be knew trustees. Emma and the previous organisers were all frozen out, they were back in Europe at that time and I don´t believe that either of them have returned to Cajamarca since then. I think though that the redoubtable Paul was the one who was really driving the project forward. He has a passionate commitment to Inca Wasi and to helping those kids.

As I remember him he was 25 years old, tall with strawberry-blonde hair. He undeniably has an eccentric personality but is also immensely kind-hearted and generous. He loves a good joke and can laugh at himself. He called me Tommy Boy and we often socialised together and discussed different projects with one another. We had a good laugh and formed a good friendship over the months also talking about frivolous topics such as football ( like a few other friends he is a committed Tottenham Hotspurs supporter) or about some recent sexual excapade. To my mind some of the others involved in Inca Wasi were rather disinterested at the start, but were turned round by Paul´s enthusiasm. I credit him with organising the charity and with keeping it going despite some of the obvious mistakes he made.

Kieran is also a big hit with women. One female volunteer from England fell madly with love with him during her time at Inca Wasi. She left a couple of love letters in his bed telling him how she felt. She maybe was not confident enough to tell him in person. Nobody else suspected anything, she didn´t appear to act strangely around him. I only know because Paul showed me the notes. He also spent a night with a Canadian volunteer although I dodn´t think that led to anything more. He also found a serious girlfriend from Cajamarca, Betty. She was 26 at the time I think but she appeared to be younger. She is tall and slim with long hair and long legs. She is a lawyer by training and of course she is very attractive. They are a lovely couple, I know that Paul is very into her, she seems to be very loyal and patient and puts up with Paul´s occassional excesses.

They are now a married couple and living and working happily in Ireland. Betty is learning English and trying to settle into a career there. But they both make regular visits back to Cajamarca to see Betty´s family and check on the process of Inca Wasi.
