Olympic Volunteers
Do you ever dream of traveling and meet-
ing people from all around the world? Wel1,
it is possible to meet them without trave-
ling because sometimes the world comes
5 to a country. When the Tokyo Olympics
is held in 2020, visitors from over 200 na-
ONAL
tions will attend this world-famous event.
So how can you meet them? The answer is
Volunteers at the 2012 London Olympic Games
to become a volunteer.
10 Volunteers are the face of the Olympic Games since they help create a special
atmosphere with their warm welcome and hard work. These helpers were
first used in the 1948 Olympic Games in London. Sixty-four years later, the
city had 240,000 applicants for the 2012 Games, and 70,000 were selected to
work at various venues. As an Olympic volunteer, you might direct spectators
to their seats in stadiums or push wheelchairs for those who cannot walk.
