Volunteers prepare for providing services at a street stall in Niujie street
in Beijing, capital of China yesterday. As 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.- Xinhua
