Game Makers
The Olympic and Paralympics of London 2012
has left a legacy for generation. Thanks to many athletes who come from all
over the world and most importantly the local unpaid 70.000 volunteers who are
named as Game Makers. The volunteers made the game easy to enjoy. There were drivers,
guiders, providers of information to guests and played many other important
role to make London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics one of the most prolific event
in the Olympic history. The volunteers were known by their purple uniform and
they were from different walk of life. It is worthy of knowing that
volunteering is all about having pride in your community. those volunteering
people showed us whatever your abilities, and
however much or little time you have to spare , there is always
something you can do if you have the passion and commitment. The Sun news paper has mentioned, by asking to
