33. YouChange is a social innovation support platform.
We are in the midst of a huge historical changes .Unlike in the past,Modern
humans have a special liking to innovation rather than revolution,this is the
new progress of human.
Innovation in essence is different from the old , It is a win-win approach,
through the means of value creation and mode change to solve social
problem,rather than using the method of zero-sum, value destroy and the
interests of the reorganization.
Instead of the confrontational, static,and closed ways, We want to use
integrational,dynamic and open eyes to look at new charity.
