北京奥运会志愿者项目启动以来，在社会各界和广大志愿者的共同努力下，各项工作进展顺利。形成了包括“迎奥运”志愿服务项目、奥组委前期志愿者项目、赛会志愿者项目、城市志愿者项目、社会志愿者项目、奥运会志愿者工作遗产转化项目等六个工作项目和“微笑北京”主题活动的奥运会志愿者工作格局，为广大志愿者申请人参与奥运、贡献奥运搭建了广阔平台。截至目前，北京奥运会、残奥会赛会志愿者报名人数已突破56万，北京奥运会城市志愿者报名人数已超过27万。

Smiles in Beijing, Volunteers for Olympics
——A Letter to Applicants for Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Volunteers
Dear applicants for Beijing Olympic and Paralympic volunteers：
At the one-year countdown to the opening of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games，please
allow the BOCOG Volunteer Department of the XXIX Olympiad to extend our warmest
regards to all of you! We also want to express our great gratitude to you for your support
for and participation in the BOCOG’s preparatory work for Beijing Olympic and Paralympic
Games!
Thanks to the joint efforts of all social sectors and individual volunteers, the Beijing
Olympic Volunteer Program has been advancing smoothly since its launch. Six working
projects and a theme campaign of "Smiling Beijing" are underway. These projects include the
"Towards the Olympics" Voluntary Service Project, the BOCOG Pre-Games Volunteer Project,
the Games-time Volunteer Project, the City Volunteer Project, the Social Volunteer Project
and the Olympic Volunteer Work Legacy Transformation Project. A platform has now been
well established for all the volunteer applicants to participate in and make contributions to
the Olympic Games. Up to now, the number of Games-time volunteer applicants for Beijing
Olympic and Paralympic Games has already surpassed 560,000, and the number of city
volunteer applicants has exceeded 270,000.
It is an honor of a lifetime to be a volunteer for the Olympic Games. Chinese President Hu
Jintao, when meeting some Olympic volunteers on the occasion of a voluntary tree-planting
activity on April 1, 2007, expressed his wish that all the volunteers would provide good
services for Beijing Olympic Games. International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacque
Rogge once commented that “the volunteers are the footstones of the Olympic Movement
and the real image ambassadors of the Olympic Games.” BOCOG President Liu Qi also
pointed out that “the smile of volunteers is the best calling card for Beijing.”
One World, One Dream. We sincerely hope that you will carry forward the volunteer
spirit, promote the Olympic ideal and participate in various volunteer activities with passion.
Please give us your continuous support for BOCOG’s preparations for the Games in the
spirit of “I participate, I contribute, and I enjoy” and make your unique contributions to the
upcoming "high-level Olympic Games with distinguishing features" in Beijing.
We believe that, in 2008, the smiles of volunteers will present Beijing at its best.
Beijing welcomes you!
