[🌕 Warmest wishes for a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival!]

As we were travelling to training at MIC, we kept spotting beautiful lantern decorations along the way. We thought, “Why don’t we go and see them together with our friends?🤩”

So, we planned our own Mid-Autumn Festival outing🌕! We headed out to explore the festive atmosphere in our community! We visited Blue House in Wan Chai to check out the beautiful lantern patterns🏮 and Lee Tung Avenue to see the Mid-Autumn story🐇 brought to life through lanterns. It was great fun spotting different lantern designs, and each of us chose our favourite one😍.

After our walk, we enjoyed some delicious custard mooncakes together while watching a video to learn more about the traditions, stories and cultural meaning behind Mid-Autumn Festival 🥮.

Wishing everyone a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival filled with beautiful moments, sweet treats and time with the people you care about!

[Mission Accomplished: Different Ways to Make a Difference❤️]

It’s always such a joy😃 to return and volunteer with Ronald McDonald House Charities! Standing for three hours to encourage customers to buy raffle tickets is truly one of our most meaningful experiences each year💪🏻🫱🏻‍🫲🏼.

Approaching people to ask for donations can sometimes be intimidating, but remembering the cause — helping sick children 👧🏻👦🏻and their families 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦stay together in a “home away from home” 🏠— makes it all worthwhile. Seeing people donate so willingly and without hesitation is incredibly fulfilling💵🪙. It motivates us to step out of our comfort zones, connect with others and do our part to support as many families as possible💪🏻🫱🏻‍🫲🏼.

At the same time, we know that making a difference can look different for everyone. While some friends took on the challenge of approaching customers and selling raffle tickets🎟️, others contributed to the community through recycling activities♻️. Some may feel comfortable meeting new people🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 and speaking up🗣️, while others may need more time to adjust to a new environment or find a different way to contribute😉👏🏻.

Different strengths, different ways to participate💪🏻🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 — but the same meaningful purpose. 🌱❤️

[Our Summer Outing, Our Choice! ]

What makes a summer outing even more special? Choosing it together! ☀️⛱️

We explored different outing options by presenting our ideas to our friends, then voted together to decide where we wanted to go. Our choice?🤔 The Hong Kong Science Museum! 🏛️😜

Despite the unpredictable summer weather☀️🌦️, we enjoyed a day of indoor discovery🔭 and learning🧐. One of the highlights was crossing paths with our YES friends😜, who were also visiting and learning about Biodiversity with Selin. Although we followed our own itineraries, we made sure to meet up, say hello👋🏻 and snap an awesome group photo together🤳🏻!

Driven by curiosity, we also took the opportunity to explore more and learn more with Selin. We discovered the museum’s incredible biodiversity exhibits, learning about different animal species🦖🦕🐘🦦, their unique habitats and the importance of co-existing with wildlife to keep our planet healthy🌍. Along the way, we also had fun capturing some memorable snaps together!🤳🏻📷

[Leveling Up Our Summer Adventure]

This summer☀️, we swapped our usual supermarket trip for an adventure through the traditional wet markets in Wan Chai and Wong Tai Sin!🤓😜

There was so much to explore — colourful fresh produce, seafood🦐🦀🐟 and all kinds of vegetables🥒🫑🍆🥕. As we explored from stall to stall, we had lots of opportunities to say hello👋🏻, ask for what we wanted and communicate with different stallholders along the way🗣️🫱🏻‍🫲🏼. We also compared prices💲🏷️, checked out the fresh produce and made our own choices about what to buy. 🤔🧐

We discovered that some fresh produce was more affordable😉, giving us a chance to think about value and freshness when making our choices💪🏻🤔. Trading the cool, spacious aisles for the hustle and bustle of the wet market, we came away with a whole new shopping experience!🤩🤗

Have you explored your local wet market lately? What is your favourite hidden gem to buy there?🤔😛

[Stepping Into a New Game: Pickleball!]

We tried something new this time—pickleball🏓, a trending sport that combines elements of tennis🎾, badminton🏸, and table tennis🏓!

At first, we felt a little nervous🫣 because the session involved more focused practice in a small group setting. Hitting the ball🤾🏻‍♀️🤾🏻 was not easy at the beginning, and we missed many times😥🥹. With Coach Zaki’s individual guidance and practice, we gradually improved our skills💪🏻, became more confident😅, and began enjoying the game more and more😜🤭.

Trying something new can be challenging💪🏼, but every attempt helps us grow👏🏻😉.

[Learn Together, Share Together]

A good book is always worth sharing📖😎! We enjoyed taking turns presenting our chosen books, passing them around, sharing our favourite parts of the stories, and having fun with questions and discussions🗣️🧏🏻‍♂️.
We also learned more about the authors🖊️👨‍🏫👩🏻‍💻, explored the stories together, and reflected on the valuable lessons we could take away from each book🤩💪🏻.

Let's keep sharing stories📖, learning together🫱🏻‍🫲🏼, and spreading good vibes through reading🤩🥰!

Do you have a favourite book you'd recommend to us? We'd love to hear your suggestions!😉💪🏻

In our latest YES & CONNECT newsletter, we invite you to go behind the scenes and discover how we ride the waves of growth together as a community.

📖 Read our July 2026 newsletter here:
https://mailchi.mp/fb802e66dac7/youth-empowerment-service-newsletter-for-yes-connect-july-2026

As our community continues to grow and our needs become more diverse, we thoughtfully set our sails through everyday sessions—supporting learning🤓, communication🗣️, and friendship🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 in ways that meet each person where they are. Sometimes that means celebrating progress🎉🥳; other times it means slowing down⏸️, staying flexible💪🏻, and responding with understanding🙇🏻🙇🏼‍♀️.

Through community experiences, life skills, friendships, and supportive routines, we create a steady environment where people can pause⏸️, reflect🤔, and respond with care🫡.

We hope you enjoy this glimpse into how we support one another, celebrate our growth, and continue our journey together😉🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🙏🏻.

💚 [Carer Appreciation Day: Our First Step in Building Connections]

As part of our Green Business Project, we would like to connect with our community🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 and share love🫶🏻 through small acts of kindness and gratitude🙇🏼‍♀️, finding ways to give back to the people around us🫱🏻‍🫲🏼.

For our first community engagement activity, we started with the people closest to us—our parents and carers👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏼. They support us every day, prepare meals👨🏼‍🍳👩🏼‍🍳, and help us grow, but we do not always have the chance to show how grateful🙇🏼‍♀️ we are.

To express our appreciation, we hosted Carer Appreciation Day. We prepared a special lunch🍴🍝, cooked the dishes ourselves, and proudly served them to our families. It was a meaningful opportunity to show our growing independence in the kitchen and share what we have learned😋💪🏻.

We also created personalised certificates and heartfelt messages to thank our parents and carers for their love and support🙏🏻🥰, and presented them on the day. It was a joyful and touching moment filled with smiles😊 and conversations🗣️.

💚 Thank you to all our parents and carers. We are proud to celebrate you.🤩🥰🫶🏻🙇🏻‍♂️

[Mental Health Awareness Month – Finding Ways to Cope]

We are learning that mental health is not only about what is happening around us, but also about understanding our own emotions and finding healthy ways to cope🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🙇🏼‍♀️🧠.

Sometimes, when we feel overwhelmed😱, we may not immediately notice how we feel😖😢. Through daily activities and discussions,we are learning to pause⏸️, recognise emotions🙇🏼‍♀️, and explore different ways that help us feel calmer😌 and more balanced🙌🏻.

Some helpful ways we practise caring for our mental wellbeing include:
- movement 🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏼‍♀️
- breathing exercise😮‍💨
- listening to music🎶
- reading📖
- taking a short break✋🏻
- talking with trusted people💬🗣️

What are some ways you take care of your emotions?💬
