Asian Games volunteer service

The earliest selection of English is above grade 4.

Due to the special mission of serving religious believers, the Asian Games volunteer service has become one of the earliest volunteers to complete the selection of Asian Games volunteers.

Among them, 58 volunteers serving the Asian Games City religious service center mostly came from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and Guangdong Pharmaceutical University students.

Two colleges and universities all attach great importance to this work. In the process of recruitment, according to the general standards of the volunteers, the volunteers were selected and recruited according to the particularities of the religious service volunteers, and 50 students with comprehensive quality were recommended.

In addition, the City Islamic Association has recommended 6 highly educated believers from the volunteers to volunteer in the Islamic activity room of the religious service center of the Asian Games city.

During the Asian Games in Guangzhou, Guangzhou specifically designated 30 sub religious sites, which belong to five major religions, namely Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christianity.

These religious venues not only set up bilingual signs in Chinese and English, but also in other places.

The 136 city volunteers arranged in 30 suburban religious activities in the city were selected by the District People's department in accordance with the unified examination procedures, such as mass registration, primary selection of venues, religious group recommendation, written examination, foreign language proficiency test and interview.

Guests from all over the world can learn about the history, culture, architecture and religious life of the religious place through them.

Volunteer story

Liao Haohong, a third year senior student

"I didn't expect training to eat moon cakes."

At present, Liao Haohong, a student in the Department of English education of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, is a volunteer team leader serving the religious service center of the Asian Games city. He is responsible for organizing and coordinating volunteer work.

As president of the college student union, she has not only organized many large-scale sports activities and academic activities in the school, but also provided many selfless services for her classmates in her study and life.

Hao Hong told reporters that the volunteers in the religious service center had a shift system.

"In order to let every volunteer in the religious service center have a sense of" home ", when the volunteer team was established, we began to create a volunteer home care activity.

There are four groups, namely, the organization group, the publicity group, the care group and the logistics team. The volunteers are the backbone leaders of the volunteers and actively organize various activities.

Hao Hong told reporters that the "volunteer home" set up a Q group to facilitate volunteer organizations and contacts. It also organizes a birthday party every month for the volunteers of the month's birthday.

"During a drill near the Mid Autumn Festival, the responsible persons of the public bureau were preparing moon cakes and fruits at the end of the exercise, because the volunteers home learned that many students at school could not eat moon cakes."

Hao Hong smiled and said, "I didn't expect the volunteers to train to eat moon cakes. At that time, dozens of people sat around the stadium like this. Although there were not many things, everyone felt the most happy mid autumn festival."

Guangyao junior student Diao Yuxiong

Not seeing sports stars is not a pity.

"If someone sends souvenirs to the religious guests at the venue, what should we do?" asked Diao Yuxiong, a third year student from Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, during a training session on Asian Games security knowledge.

This thin and spiritual young man is quite fond of sports on weekdays. The champion of the Olympic Games for the national champion is always on the lips, becoming an idol in his study and life.

"At first, the Asian Games volunteers thought that they might have a chance to see them."

Yu Hsiung told reporters that although he may be "on the side" with his idol, he is very much looking forward to volunteering at the religious service center.

"When I first learned that I was arranged to be a volunteer for the religious services of the Asian Games, I was really" confused "in my mind. What is the group that the religious service volunteers are faced with, what is their responsibilities, and so many" what "come to mind.

Yu Hsiung recalls that night, when he heard the news, he stayed up all night in the net, inquired into the major religious knowledge and materials, and saw the related films and documentaries.

"We have received 10 professional training, and have gone to the Asian Games city for several field exercises. Compared with other students enrolled in Asian Games volunteers, we are professionals." Yu Hung told reporters proudly.

Unlike the volunteers from abroad, 12 volunteers from Guangdong Pharmaceutical University are from different grades and specialties. It is very difficult to get "extra lessons" like the volunteers.

Yu Xiong told reporters that after the Asian Games, the final exams of various subjects will be welcomed. Many students, like him, take their textbooks with them and review them whenever they are free.

Yu Xiong confidently told reporters that the final exam and the upcoming Asian Games volunteer service, as well as their own "have a ready mind"!
