The volunteering experience at Vancouver 2010 Olympics is certainly a great and life-changing one. Over 30,000 volunteers are needed to help run the Olympic games. Volunteers have the opportunity to be involved in almost all aspects of the Olympics (including helping with the medal ceremonies and meeting the athletes!)
The Olympic Games are thrilling, heart-breaking, uplifting – pretty much all around amazing! But did you know that there are two Olympic Games? The first games, happening in Vancouver as I write this, are the ones we have all watched and been moved by. The results cover the news, the papers and the web. But I would love to draw some light on the less-known Paralympic games, where some truly amazing and inspiring athletes are constantly pushing the limits of their physical and mental abilities.
