In a meeting with Mr. Lester Monts of Michigan University, USA on Friday, Li
said the volunteer program is moving on schedule with the recruitment and
training due to start this year.
Satisfactory progress has been made in the preparatory work of the 2008
Olympiad in the past years, which cannot be separated from BOCOG's effort to
strengthen international communication and uphold an open-up approach, Li said,
adding the volunteer program will also abide by the open-up principle.
The Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) is
willing to cooperate with institutions concerned at home and abroad to jointly
push forward the volunteer recruitment, Li went on.

to join the 2008 volunteer program. |
