The Expo has just started. Being fully prepared, all the volunteers are enthusiastic about taking part in various activities such as forums and cultural performances. Their efforts are crucial to the success of these events.

As the head of the foreign volunteer team, Rona expresses his resolution to make the expo a great sucess.

"We will actively take part in all the voluntary work together with the local volunteers. For visitors in Shanghai, no matter whether they are domestic or foreign, we will give them the best service and provide them with directions and restaurant recommendations as well as help alleviate traffic jams. We will make an all-out effort to ensure a successful World Expo for every visitor here in Shanghai."

Rona is content with his current work and life. Because he is an ordinary businessman he can more easily participate in charity activities in Shanghai than foreign diplomats can.

Apart from his work for the inspection team for public misconduct and the Expo volunteers group, Rona has also been donating money and goods to needy students in local schools and other areas hit by earthquakes and snow disasters.

As a long-time foreign expatriate in Shanghai and a Turk, Rona has been able to introduce Shanghai and China to his countrymen through his voluntary work.

He believes that the World Expo will also serve as a bridge between people in Turkey and China.

"Most of the visitors to the Turkish pavilion will be Chinese. It is a chance for them to learn more about Turkey, and some of them may be interested in visiting the country. It will have a profound influence on bilateral exchanges in the economy, trade, travel, culture and social activities. I firmly believe that the World Expo is full of opportunities."
