     Jenny Bowen, an American living in Beijing, has been selected as the only American to carry the 2008
Beijing Olympic torch on Chinese soil. She and seven other non-Chinese winners were from a pool of 262
applicants from 47 countries.
     When Bowen runs with the Olympic torch, she will not only be representing the United States. She will
also be representing thousands of Chinese orphans, ABC news said.
     Bowen, a mother of two adopted (领养的) Chinese daughters, is executive director of Half the Sky
Foundation, an organization which was set up in 1998 and aims to enrich the lives and improve the future
for orphaned children in China.
    Nearly 10 years later, Bowen and Half the Sky Foundation have touched the lives of over 13,000 children.
Half the Sky Foundation is now present in 36 welfare institutions in 28 Chinese cities. About 4,000 children
are active in the program, which provides trained staff, educational tools, medical support and love for
orphans.
     Bowen hopes that running with the Olympic torch will help draw attention to the children in China. She
will be among the 19,400 runners who will carry the flame along an 85,000-mile,130-day route across five
continents. Beijing organizers say it will be the longest torch relay in the Olympic history.
    Like Bowen, the seven other non-Chinese winners, including a German engineer and a Venezuelan
designer, live in China. The other countries represented will be the Philippines, Colombia, India, Japan and
Russia.
     According to Olympic organizers, candidates (候选人) were selected based on their "love of Chinese
culture and history" and devotion to "communicating information about a real China to their native countries."
Each runner will carry the torch for 200 meters on Chinese soil.
