Beijing needs much more than 100,000volunteers to directly serve the Olympic
and Paralympic Games, said Beijing organizers here on Monday.
Tong Lili a sophomore
from Beijing International Studies University, shows off her cute yellow
satchel, embroidered with the word ‘volunteer’. The satchel, as well as
her red skirt, was particularly designed for people serving at the IAAF
World Junior Championships. Tong bravely asked Beijing Major Liu Qi to
leave a message for World Junior and upcoming Olympic volunteers. Liu
wrote down “the smiles of the volunteers are the best calling card for
Beijing” , which has now become the slogan for the Beijing Olympic
volunteer recruitment program.

| There will be 100,000
directly volunteering in the two Games but more people are needed to help with
the city's transportation, environment, security, commerce and tourism,
organizers said after the launching ceremony of recruitment of volunteers for
the Beijing Olympic Games as well as the Paralympics Games.
"We estimate that hundreds of thousands of volunteers will serve the city
during the Games. They can volunteer in fields like transportation, environment,
security, commerce and tourism," one of the Olympics organizers Liu Jian said.
The organizers are going to recruit 100,000 volunteers for the two Games with
the majority of them from Beijing-based universities. They also plan to bring in
a certain number of volunteers from other parts of China including Hong Kong,
Macao and Taiwan as overseas Chinese, students studying abroad and foreigners
can be eligible too.
