Aug. 24th is the last day of Beijing Olympics, two overseas volunteers from Spain discharged their last-day duties and bid goodbye to their Chinese Friends at Xidan Culture Square. The two Spanish volunteers got a picture scroll from their Chinese Colleagues as a present. They invited Chinese volunteers and Beijing citizens to sign on the scroll as memento of the experience. They said doing the volunteer work in Beijing was an unforgetable experience, the Beijing Olympic volunteers were the best ones, they hoped to see them in London again. About 140 overseas volunteers are students from the United States, Germany, Sweden and other countries, other, about 27, volunteers are international Red Cross volunteers from Melbourne of Australia, London of England, Madrid of Spain, Lisbon of Portugal, HongKong and Macao. Since Mid-June, 170 volunteers in succession provided translation service and emergency service at the areas of Xidan Book Store, Xidan Department Store, Shichahai Lotus Market and Yinding Bridge.
