International Friends Receive Warmth by Volunteering in SanlitunThe volunteers also participate in various activities to promote moral virtues and the spirit of volunteerism, and to help spread fine traditional Chinese culture. On the square in front of the service station, they have organized cultural activities with various themes, including traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese calligraphy, and making mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration this year.

In early September, during the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, which was held in Beijing, the team of international volunteers organized an activity near the service station. The volunteers, including several from African countries, introduced tourist hotspots and African culture to passersby.

In addition to the service station, the international volunteers sometimes provide services at schools and seniors' activity centers in Sanlitun. They also teach English, and some other languages, to express delivery service workers and employees of local shops, so they can speak simple phrases to people from other countries.

"International volunteers generally have good cross-cultural-communication skills. They help solve various problems foreigners may encounter in Sanlitun. Some of our volunteers used to be international students in Beijing. They have returned to their countries after graduation. They have brought back the volunteer-service skills they have learned here, and they have continued being volunteers," says Liu Zixin, a civil servant who works on Sanlitun Street.
