Qiang Wei, deputy director of CPC Beijing Municipal Committee,
revealed on Jan. 16 that Beijing will commence official volunteer
recruitment for Beijing Olympic Games in June this year, which will
target university students and be open to those from all sectors of
the society.
Qiang said that volunteers are an important component of Olympic
Games preparation. Beijing citizens are enthusiastic and hospitable
with the sense of honor and responsibility for the capital of
China, which is a favorable premise and basis.
Olympic Games volunteers will be mainly composed of young people
and the volunteer recruitment is open to all parts of China and the
globe. Beijing welcomes young people from Hong Kong, Macao and
Taiwan as well as those from other countries and regions to join
the volunteer group. This reflects the international orientation,
extensiveness and inclusiveness of the volunteer group. This
volunteer recruitment will not only serve the Olympic Games, but
also help promote the development of China's volunteer
services.
