Vice Chairman Wang Zuoshu outlines work requirements for the new board of directors

Vice Chairman Wang Zuoshu congratulated the foundation on the formation of its new board of directors. He pointed out that the leadership transition represents the handover of responsibilities and missions. The previous board devoted five years of dedicated effort to earn the foundation's 5A-level social organization designation, which crystallizes the commitment and dedication of all members and serves as an important foundation for the new leadership team—maintaining the 5A rating and upholding the original charitable mission have become the current core priorities.

Vice Chairman Wang Zuoshu emphasized that the value of Changier work lies in upholding the commitment to "benefit the people and strengthen the nation, create lasting benefits for future generations, and help people overcome difficulties," transforming "love" into concrete actions—bringing health and hope to disadvantaged groups while reducing resource consumption for the country; through sex education and AIDS prevention advocacy, preventing the spread of AIDS to the general population and reducing the burden on families and the nation. Currently, youth AIDS prevention work faces dual challenges: on one hand, the AIDS prevention and control situation remains severe; on the other hand, with limited resources and mounting responsibilities, it is necessary to adopt a "long-term battle" mindset. The solution lies in "upholding integrity while pursuing innovation": leveraging technology as a guide, enhancing work efficiency, uniting beneficiary groups, mobilizing both internal and external forces, and harnessing the collective power of "many hands make light work" to overcome challenges.

Director Tang Xiaoming affirmed the work carried out by the Beijing Changier Education Foundation

Director Tang Xiaoming stated that since its establishment, Beijing Changier Education Foundation has adhered to the mission of "promoting education of love for the youth and making love and kindness accessible to all", and has persisted in party building leadership, business integration, standardized operations, and healthy development. The Foundation has carried out extensive social welfare activities in supporting education in areas such as AIDS prevention, sexual health, and mental health for young people, forming branded public welfare projects such as "Education of Love", and has created a favorable educational environment for safeguarding the physical and mental health of young people. As a social organization in Beijing with special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, it has showcased China's image and conveyed China's voice on the international stage. We hope that the new board of directors, under the guidance of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and the Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, will play an even greater role in serving the country and supporting Beijing's "Four Centers" development.
