Last Thursday I was told from the AA’s office that I can be as a volunteer to attend the planting trees’ ceremony with VIPs. Also, I was informed from the government officer that I would take care of the Deputy consul-General and his wife , whom are from the consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in Guangzhou.

On Saturday morning, we volunteers as scheduled to get together in GLV’s main hall at 9：40 am, and then got on the bus to the BinHai Park .We did a lot of preparation work ,such as carrying the tools to the right position ,preparing the water and gloves ,etc before the VIP’s came.

Soon I found them easily, because they took pictures for the tree. I went straight found to them, and confirmed they were the people. I want to find to .And I briefly introduced myself to them and explained the purpose I came over here was to help them to plant the tree .Actually they were very surprised when I said “hello” using German to them. The couple finished planting the tree very quickly. As requested, I took many pictures for them when they were planting the tree.

Fortunately, the couple asked the government’s photographer to take a picture with me. I felt very excited when I heard of this. In fact, it is my honor to have taken pictures with them. Finally, the Deputy consul- General gave me his name card ,and told me if I need and help from him, just contact him .His wife also was kind to me and told me and told me that I can contact her when I am in Guangzhou.

It is m honor the first time a volunteer to serve the VIP. I have leant a lot of from this experience. I believe I will continue to be as a volunteer in the future. What a wonderful and memorable day I had spent! I will always keep it in my mind.
