Volunteers contributed tremendously to success of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. As we know, the Volunteering spirit means c
22、ontribution. Those volunteers who silently but diligently contributed should be given the same respect as we gave to the athletes who fight in the sports arena. Thousands of trained volunteers demonstrated a giving spirit through their services, and more and more people learned about and understood
23、the volunteering spirit. Their efforts provided selfless contributions to people and touched every heart they contact. And in the process, a giving spirit is spread.
