Luis González came to the WSDC as a Peruvian observer and is leaving as
the Zimbabwean captain. He started debating only a year ago and found the
opportunity of attending the WSDC to learn many things, make friends and as
an extra plus, miss school. He hopes to attend the next championship.
Sixto Ramos (Feo) loves solutions and not problems and would rather be the
coach than a judge. He loves debate and is definitely a legend in the WSDC
community. He has a part-time job as a joke recycler.
Cristina Loayza. Ever since she was bitten by the debate bug in the WSDC in
Lima in 2003, she became interested in judging, comparing her debaters to her
butterflies and orchids. She finds debating to be the maximum art of listening.
This 2008 World Tournament is her first WSDC but she believes it will not be
her last.
Paul Doherty got off at the wrong airport seventeen years in Lima, Peru. An
Irishman with more Pisco in his blood than Guinness. He has been part of the
Peruvian Debate Association since 2002.
Mamani, our team mascot, is actually not a llama, but an alpaca. There’s a
