founder’s note
It was July 2016, we just had an idea, a simple
idea that came out from a simple discussion. We
didn’t try to build a startup, rather just wanted
to build a platform to share stories of innovative
development initiatives. Later, what we found
was absolutely fascinating – a Change Maga-
zine came out of a short talk with Gladys Llanes
and Bolun Li. Since then, a lot of really small but
meaningful things have started to come with the
constant effort of some energetic people.
Today, the small idea is a Hong Kong based social enterprise, Development
Innovation Insider, and it’s going to publish its 3rd volume of Change Magazine,
which is a platform for global exchange of ideas and stories of development
innovations. Through this magazine, we are promoting innovative development
models and ideas happening around the world, and thereby motivate people to
replicate or get inspired by the impact created by those models. Now, what you
will find in the pages of the 3rd volume of the Change Magazine is a collection of
inspired and instructive articles written by real, honest, down-to-earth folks who
worked hard to live deliberately, and collected stories of innovative development
projects around the world.
Moreover, we believe, our young generation needs deeper, multidimensional
views of the development initiatives and inspiration to become leaders of the next
generation. Thus, sharing ideas and thoughts and motivate them can transform
global innovations for greater good.
So, I invite you to experience the Change. I invite you to get inspired.
