It may not be easy to become a volunteer in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008As the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games approaches, more than 400,000 volunteers have been working at 550 street stalls around Beijing since July, providing information, emergency aid and translation services for people from around the world. A total of 74,615 volunteers will provide services at Games venues, the Olympic Village and media centers of the Olympic Games. In addition, one million “social volunteers” have been helping to keep traffic and maintain social order in the communities and townships of Beijing.
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will stimulate volunteering in the society
It is not like you want to be a volunteer, you go to an application point, and you become one. At least volunteering for the Beijing Olympic Games has strict requirements about language skills, appearances, energy and good health. All chosen volunteers are regrouped as where they work and get trained separately. News say 300 volunteers were picked from 70,000 applicants to work on awarding ceremony. They started complicated etiquette training since last August. Now time is up. I know you are all ready.
