Olympic Volunteers

The Beijing Organising Committee for the 2008 Olympics have officially launched a recruiting drive for 100,000 volunteers.

The Committee said that 70,000 helpers would serve at the Olympics, and 30,000 at the Paralympics.

International Olympic Committee president, Jacques Rogge, said:

"An Olympic Games stands no chance of success without a team of well-trained volunteers and high-standard voluntary services."
