At a press conference on March 28, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) launched recruitment drives for volunteers coming from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, the overseas Chinese diaspora and from foreigners around the world. All those who wish to join and serve the Olympics and lend the volunteer body a veritable global character are invited to apply.

Li Binghua, executive vice president of BOCOG and vice chief of the Beijing Olympic Games Volunteer Work Coordination Group, said that the volunteers recruitment in each of the above areas would benefit from its own agency. For Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the Hong Kong Home Affair Bureau, Macao Sport Development Board and Beijing Olympic Games Taiwan Compatriot Volunteer Recruitment Center will respectively oversee volunteer recruitment in these areas. For overseas Chinese and foreign applicants, the Beijing Olympic Games Overseas Chinese and Foreign Volunteer Recruitment Centers will field all applications.
 
Starting from March 28, applicants outside the mainland can use the following websites to contact the relevant organization:

The application period will last a year until the end of March 2008, with BOCOG aiming to complete recruitment by May 2008. The number of volunteers will stand at 70,000 for the Olympic Games and around 30,000 volunteers for the Paralympic Games.

According to Liu Jian, office director of Beijing Olympic Games Volunteer Work Coordination Group, the number of volunteers recruited from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, overseas Chinese, students studying abroad and foreigners may vary depending on application demand.

For the duration of their stint at the Olympics, the volunteers will be required to shoulder the cost of transportation from their place of residence to Beijing and accommodation during their stay in the city.

So far, 410,000 applicants have been received with over 280,000 coming from Beijing and 130,000 from the rest of China," said Li Binghua.
