“We’ve made this together with dried flowers. Isn’t it beautiful?”
On December 10, WeLoveU members in Hong Kongparticipated in a cultural activity
with disabled people at the Wong Tai Sin Day Activity Centre.
This initiative was part of their efforts to support Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council [NAAC], which works to address the difficulties of the underprivileged and to improve the social functioning of individuals, families, and communities.
During the event, WeLoveU members engaged in drawing
and making simple crafts with their neighbours with disabilities.
Such activities are known to aid in the rehabilitation of those with disabilities,
helping them unlock their potential and encouraging their active participation in society.
Non-disabled participants gained a better understanding of the challenges that people with disabilities face, fostering empathy and contributing to the creation of a more inclusive society.
Gathering in small groups around tables,
the members carefully created art pieces with their neighbours.
The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy, as everyone showed
care and consideration for one another throughout the activity.
On the same day, the NAAC presented WeLoveU with a certificate of appreciation,
expressing their gratitude for the organisation’s active participation and support.

Volunteers (WeLoveU members) and people with disabilities communicated by making handicrafts together. It was a meaningful experience to realize everyone has unique strengths. They seemed fun and happy to cooperate with each other. I noticed genuine, sincere smiles on the volunteers’ faces —it was very special feeling.
WeLoveU members, thank you so much for your enthusiastic and active participation today.

“I didn’t know how I interact or spend time with disabled people, but today’s cultural activity gave me the answers. I could know better about them. I’m also very grateful to the NAAC staff for their thoughtful efforts in creating such a good experience.”

“I am so happy to be part of this event. I rarely have opportunities to engage with my disabled neighbours, but today I realised that they have no difference with me—ordinary people, talking and making crafts together. It was a valuable learning experience. I hope more people participate in these activities, so we can better understand and communicate with one another.”
Anita, WeLoveU Member
WeLoveU strives to make a beautiful world,
where everyone lives in happiness and harmony.
