SOUNDBITE (English) Flavia Fontes, Rio 2016 volunteer manager:

"We are getting a lot of interest from Australia. From Australians that are already volunteering. I learned a lot from Australia. I was eight years in Australia. There's where I learned everything about volunteer. And then I came here. And that's why a lot of other Australians want to come. English as well and (people from) Sochi, Russians. So, I think these are the three main countries at the moment. But we got Irish today as well. We already got some Germans that registered this morning. (From) America, (we had) some (registers). So, I really think that the world is looking as an opportunity to come and experience Brazil in a different way."
