[Leveling Up Our Summer Adventure]

Getting ingredients at the local supermarket is usually part of our cooking sessions🍎🍆🥕🍖🥩, but this summer, we decided to step out of our usual routine and explore the vibrant wet markets of Wan Chai and Wong Tai Sin💪🏻🤓.

The bustling stalls had so much to discover — things we would rarely find in a supermarket aisle, from fresh seafood, live fish and crabs moving around in the water to authentic butcher cuts! 🦐🐟🦀

We enjoyed looking around, spotting the differences and
experiencing a different side of everyday life in Hong Kong. Sometimes, the best adventures begin by going somewhere new and simply being curious about what we might find! 🤔🤩🤓

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

[Small Group, Focused Training!]

With a smaller training group🏋🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️, everyone had more opportunities to focus on their skills💪🏻, practise at their own pace, and receive individual guidance from Coach Zaki😉.

We took things step by step👣, starting with the basics and focusing on building the correct movements and body posture💪🏻. After a full head-to-toe stretching routine💆🏻‍♀️🦵🏻 and warm-up🏋🏻‍♀️, we challenged ourselves with an obstacle course🏁, moving through the cones🔺🔺 while practising our speed🏁, coordination💪🏻, and control.

With more space to practise and more focused support, everyone enjoyed the training experience and encouraged each other throughout the session.😉🤩🫱🏻‍🫲🏼👏🏻

[Celebrating the little things]

The real magic🪄✨ of a growing family lies in becoming each other's biggest cheerleaders🥳🎊👏🏻. We make it a point to find joy not only in major milestones, such as birthdays🎂, but also in everyday victories🏁🏆.

🥳🎊👏🏻Cheering each other on helps us stay connected🫱🏻‍🫲🏼, because it's often the little things that make life feel so big🤩🏆.

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😉🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🙏🏻.

[Independent Living: Exploring New Ingredients in the Kitchen 🍳🦑🍆]

In our cooking lessons👨🏼‍🍳👩🏼‍🍳, we take turns handling different ingredients🥒🥕, giving everyone the opportunity to practise new skills and build confidence💪🏻 in the kitchen.

Recently, we’ve been exploring healthier and less familiar foods, such as eggplants🍆 and squid🦑. We learned how to wash, prepare and cook them safely while discussing their texture🖐🏻, taste😋 and nutritional benefits💪🏻.

Some of us felt unsure🤔 about trying these ingredients at first, but after tasting the finished dishes, we discovered new foods we enjoyed😋😻. It was a great reminder that being open to new foods is an important part of healthy eating💪🏻.

Step by step, we are building cooking skills, confidence, independence and healthy habits for everyday life🙌🏻🤩.

[Mental Health Matters]

Mental Health Awareness Month🧠🤓 reminds us that well-being is closely connected to our relationships🫱🏻‍🫲🏼, daily experiences💪🏻, and how we understand one another🥰🫶🏻.

Through our activities and community outings, we experience many moments of connection🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 — such as spending time with elderly friends⏰👵🏼👴🏼, sharing smiles🤩, having heartfelt conversations💬, and simply being present together. These small human connections help us feel part of a community where we are supported and not alone🫶🏻👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏼.

As we build these connections, we also learn that everyone experiences emotions differently. Sometimes, the most supportive thing we can do is to understand one another🫱🏻‍🫲🏼, respect how we feel🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏻‍♂️, and give space when needed. Allowing time to process emotions is also a form of care🫶🏻👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏼.

We also prepared and dedicated Mother’s Day songs🎶 during our music session and shared about our appreciation🙇🏼‍♀️, love🥰, and care🤗 for our moms👩🏼.

[YES 2026 Footprint 👣: Hong Kong Science Museum]

This time, we left our footprint at the Hong Kong Science Museum — a fantastic place where science🔭 comes alive through play and discovery🔍.

We explored a wide range of hands-on exhibits, took part in interactive games, and discovered how different machines and experiments work. One of our favourite highlights was the biodiversity zone, where the impressive displays of animals🐯🐗 and dinosaurs🦖 truly captured everyone’s attention👀.

We would highly recommend the Hong Kong Science Museum to families and groups who enjoy learning through play. It’s a vibrant and engaging space where everyone can explore science together, guided by curiosity!👀🤩

[🌍 Every Step Helps, Every Effort Counts 💚]

Over the past few years, our commitment to protecting the environment has continued to grow🌳. From regular recycling of plastic🥤, paper📰, and metal🗑️, to community clean-ups, we have also been consistently practising food waste recycling to reduce everyday waste.♻️

We’re not only carrying on with our usual efforts, but also exploring fresh and meaningful ways to support a cleaner, greener future♻️🌳. Recently, we’ve embraced plogging—picking up litter while jogging or walking🏃🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️. This simple activity improves our health💪🏻 while making a direct impact on the environment🌳.

Through these efforts, we hope to raise awareness and inspire more people to take part in caring for our planet🌍. Because every step helps, and every effort counts👣. 🌱
