China ready for the Games (I): Venues, facilities in place

Volunteers

Starting on Jan 25, up to 200,000 volunteers will serve the Games. They will be responsible for things such as information consulting, language services, emergency aid and support for people with disabilities.

More than 2,000 disabled people in China have applied to be the volunteers at the Games. Among the successful candidates, the youngest volunteer is 19 years old and the eldest 63.

Prior to the Games, the selected volunteers are expected to go through four stages of training - general, professional, venue and on-the-job training - which will involve 23 courses.
