Volunteer for Beijing Olympics
By Jian Shuo Wang on 2006-09-12 23:30 · Olympics 2008Want to be a volunteer for Beijing Olympics in 2008? Recently, the recruiting started.
The recruiting of Beijing Olympics Volunteer starts from Aug 28, 2006 to end of March, 2008.
Stage 1: Beijing Volunteers
From August 28, 2006, the program opens to applicants in Beijing (and Beijing only).
Stage 2: China Volunteers
From Dec, 2006, people from outside Beijing can submit their application.
Stage 3: Overseas Volunteers
By March 2007, people from outside China (including in other countries) can apply for volunteering in Olympics 2008.
The Program
Travel, hotel are not provided. Only working meal is available for volunteers (makes sense, isn’t it?)
If you have any questions, just call Olympics Volunteer hotline
+86-10-12308
According to news, 100k college students has applied for the position after three days of recruiting. 50,000 to 100,000 volunteers are needed for the game.
If you want to participant, just call the number and ask more questions about the program. However, my guess is, to be admitted to the program is not easy.

they dont care about the welfare. they only provide the most basic need like the 'working meal'.
even when they only provide the basics, they already have 100k local students applicants and the number will grow day by day and you cant stop it. if want to become a volunteer... its either take it or leave it... thats the deal.

I filled the form on the first day the committee announced they were looking for volunteers. No response so far, but have to wait. :)
"Welcome to Beijing!"
Fei, I see your point but a nice alternative to hotels would be letting the volunteers to stay at Univserity dorms in Beijing. I imagine since the school is out in the summer there should be plenty of empty rooms that maybe the government or the organizing committee can secure for housing volunteers.
Beijing ONLY got chosen for the 2008 Olympics in a hope from the olympic committee, that it would make the "opening of China" to speed up. And what happened jst recently ?
Now the government have wisely decided that all foreign news must be filtered by Xinhua first !
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/09/11/china.newscontrols.reut/index.html
Haha, that's really funny, they will get SO busy !
Perhaps they won't even have time to filter MY emails then :-)
It still sucks.
The chinese people now have to wait much longer for improvements of social welfare, because for the government it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to spend 160.000.000.000 RMB on this "game" of professional athletes, just to have a chance of promoting themselves.
How many free hospitals can you make for 160.000.000.000 RMB ?
I guess I need these hospitals now, because the thought of it makes ME SICK !
I will not watch 1 minute of this "show".
And for the volunteers, they don't understand a shit of what's happening around them...
Why work for free, when the expenses is 160.000.000.000 RMB ?
This is where it gets interesting. Reason 'pretends' to be
libertarian, what with occasional swipes at the US government and so
on. But it is actually a Neocon publication. Editor Jacob Sullum has
close ties to the Competitive Research Institute (CEI). Now they say
they are advocates of small business, but, if that's true why do they
get so much money from Exxon?
CEI's Myron Ebell seems to lead the Exxon charge. Exxon has admitted
to paying him as much as $125,000 a year, and his net worth is
estimated to be in the millions.
But there are even more curious characters. Frequent Reason
contributor and Sullum disciple John Berlau is currently on the staff
of CEI. He's written the occasional piece defending Scientology's
right to exist as a religion. But, more interestingly, he has taken a
strong interest in the death of Washington, DC, area escort Theresa
Howell, who worked under the name Summer Breeze. Howell had a problem with drugs and alcohol, and, on the DC-based prostitution website
www.bigdoggie.net, she talked of her exploration of Scientology as a
cure.
Berlau tried, without apparent success, to conduct his own
investigation of her death. The police investigation said Howell fell
down stairs while drunk, Berlau was looking for something else. Ever
since then, Berlau has occasionally ventured into rather dark
journalistic and possibly personal territory exploring the sex trade.
Berlau does not have a good reputation as a journalist, he has
supposedly blackmailed people into cooperating with him, threatening to
give them adverse publicity if they will not serve as his journallistic
sources.
His claim to fame is the Sandy Hume award, which seems to be about as
prestigious as a Buzz Lightyear Space Patrol membership badge.
Often leaping to Berlau's defense is blogger and self-described 'foodie' Andrew Langer. Langer ran for local office in Maryland and, despite receiving support from both Narconon and Applied Scholastics, he lost.
When it appeared Berlau was involved in a series of prostitution sting
operations in Maryland, Langer editorialized at length about Berlau on
his blog. Berlau supposedly participated in the entrapment of
prostitutes and clients, and offered them "a chance" if they would
consent to interviews for a book he is writing on the topic. Pollice
in Montgomery and Prince George's County had to call off the operation
due to the adverse publicity.
Also at CEI is lawyer and erotic model Solveig Singleton. She often
double teams with Ebell on what has to be described as their Exxon
account, but she's also very active at events in Europe, and was very
openly critical of the German and French government positions on
Scientology. CEI must not pay well, as she continues to do
photoshoots.
None of these people can be found in Scientology completions, but it
certainly is odd that they go to such lengths to defend Scientology and
its front groups.
He broke his promise to send a copy after it was published. I found out because someone read it in the magazine. The company said he twisted things around but no one would do anything.
Well Then, take it easy guys! Don't get so worked up eh~

I am a graduate student in U.S.A. I'm a native spanish and Chinese speaker with fluent English. Where can I find the application and apply?
Thanks a lot
People just complain all the time. Volunteer are meant to be voluntarily -FREE! What's the point of asking fares when you are supposed to provide free service? If you understand that first, you will know it doesn't suck, that's how it works!!! For God's sake, people complain about things when they can stop sitting on their butts and get up give out help.
160.000.000.000 RMB is what it will cost, but it is not what it will attract. It attracts far more than that it will attract everything. Why all countries try to get the chance of hosting the Olympics-- in your words--'SHOWING OFF'? It is a show, but its a fair and competitive show. Every country that got the opportunity to host it feels over the moon, why you still stand there and moan about it without any actual action e.g. VOLUNTEER work? ---- Reply to 'Carsten'
I suppose some of Chinese would definitely moan when we didn't get the chance to host the game, you see, some of us still moan when others did tried their best and got the chance, for you! Be appreciated or do something!!!!! And remember don't you dare to say a shit about the volunteers who really are trying hard to get into the game and working with losing all the chances of watching it.
thanks a lot!
Wouldn't it just be easier if they had some sort of registration of interest? Stupid cunts don't know how to use their brains.

Mark my words. This bunch of hackers from that V for Vendetta movie are all funded by Islamic Fascists. Some of them have probably even gone to Indonesia to meet with Bin Laden's followers there!
The root of all terrorism is Islam. It is time to destroy it and remove all memory of it so it will never rise again!
You don't believe me, well keep reading!
Just look at a few:
First World Trade Center Attack: A blind Egyptian guy was behind it. No one contests it.
Oklahoma City: Do not forget that McVeigh served in the first Gulf War. There is good reason to think he was recruited by jihadists in Iraq who were active at the time.
9/11: Islamic suicide extremists, forget the other theories. They were Taliban zealots hoping for virgins and palaces in Islamic heaven.
Spanish train bombs: More Jihad extremists, basically the same bunch as the 9/11.
London train bombs: Not the same 9/11 and Spain guys, but British Muslims from Pakistan.
Virginia Tech: This one is so sad. Psychiatry started Cho out. Then Islamic recruiters told Cho he would get infinite sex in Muslim heaven from the 172 virgins so he converted. Just like the 9/11 guys he was going to prostitutes but even they knew he wsa evil so they would not have sex with him. By trying to destroy Virginia Tech he thought he was attacking Bush's aggression in Afghanistan.
London night club bombs: Good for the Brit cops, they have caught some of the guys and it is more of these Pakistan guys. Maybe it is time to have a serious think about what to do about Pakistan.
It is no accident or coincidence the bigots who oppose religious freedom are inspired by Islamic thought. Just look at some of the fine people on www.religiousfreedomwatch.org.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON on there is a zealot, bigot or extremist and you will find that most of them have extensive criminal records. Take a look at these criminal records and you will find the influence of Islam.
Charlotte Kates: this young woman is a card-carrying member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. They are kind of the poster child for Muslim terrorists.
Peter Alexander: this man makes hate films. He is also building some kind of an amusement park in the Arab Gulf. He is clearly doing the bidding of Islamist masters all the way around.
Patricia Greenway: this woman is Alexander's business partner and lover. She likes to live the high life and Arab money helps out there. Word in Ybor City is that she has her eye on an Enzo.
Kristi Wachter: she puts out a daily hate newsletter. She has paid for the theft of materials from churches. She says she used to run a record company but how much money could it make? It seems to me she is getting her money from bin Laden and his friends.
David Touretzky: don't be fooled. This man is not a mouse brain researcher, he is a bomb expert. Who is really paying for his research? Could it be the same bomb makers loose in Iraq?
Keith Henson: first, don't forget that but for www.religiousfreedomwatch.org this man would not of gone to jail. He is not just a bomb expert but a proved bomb maker. And who wants to pay for bombs? Jihad extremists! Who paid for his toothpaste and cigarettes in jail? Was it a guy called Osama?
Tory Bezazian: She walked away from her husband of many years to engage in hate activities. Where does she get money? The answer is Islam. She is a directly funded agent of the Los Angeles Koranic Council.
Andreas Heldal-Lund: this man supported Middle East bomber Lars Gule, need I say more?
Arnie Lerma: Nazi and leading conspiracy theorist. This man is worse than an anarchist as some day he will probably kill himself just to make a stupid point.
Rob Clark: threatens to blow up a church and a weather station? Who knows why, but when you get to the bottom, you will find a copy of the Koran there!
As to the site, religiousfreedomwatch.org, it is paid for 100% by my company, American Coast Title. I am one of the owners. The other two owners, Frank Berriz and Linda Blood are 100% behind what I am doing as are our parent underwriter Stewart Title.
We also get pretty good support from our employees although it would be illegal of me to impose my political beliefs on them.
Does it surprise you that I am being attacked by Indonesians? Not a coincidence that Indonesia is an Islamic country.
The company is willing to pay a nice reward to the person who will stand up and help me stop them. Please look at my site for details.
Expect without doubt a lot of trouble in Glendale. That is where American Coast Title is located as well as a dense population of Armenians. The Armenians do not like Arab Muslims so the area is getting very tense as the clock ticks down for Islamic terrorism.
So I am calling for the elimination of Islam and to these Anonymous Partyvan Vendetta of February People. Many other religious choices are available. No other religion is associated with state sponsored terror as documented by the US State Department Report on Terrorism.
This is a strong statement but it is time to end these attacks with bombs full of nails and gas. No other group does this. It is all and always back to Islam, Muslims, the Koran and groups like the Taliban and various sleeper cells.
Stand up with me on this one. Stand tall with me against Muslims who commit mass murder hoping for 172 virgins in a palace. Stand shoulder to shoulder with me to stop the next bunch suicidal bigots from burning down your city.
I hope the day will come when all we have left is one Mosque left up somewhere as a museum to the hatred Islam made and the Koran is a book kept in a locked up room at the FBI. Now that will be a banner day for world peace and religious freedom!
