The organizers of the volunteer program for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will send a number of Spanish-speaking volunteers to Cuba for language proficiency.
The four-month training aims at uplifting service levels of the volunteers for the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics and preparing human resources for Beijing's volunteer team.
As a joint program between the Chinese and Cuban authorities, the volunteers are scheduled to depart for Havana in November.
Twenty volunteers of senior academic classes recommended by Beijing's best four foreign language universities, including Beijing Foreign Studies University, underwent an interview on Thursday. The students were examined on their language skills and personal qualities.
