Say Yeah Limited

Education

SAY YEAH is a charity organization based in Hong Kong. SAY YEAH is the english Pinyin close to the Cantonese common word 死嘢. Originally, the word ‘死’ is used to describe death, and the word ‘嘢’ is used to describe things or matters. By combining the two words together, 死嘢 becomes a slang with the best suitable meaning of “dead” and “dying soon.” The reason why we chose to incorporate SAY YEAH into our name is to have an emphasis on and remind people that to be afraid of dying is absolutely normal and not big of a deal. Therefore, we should be grateful, and ‘SAY YEAH’ To 死嘢. We aim to bring in innovative approaches, i.e. SAY YEAH education for students, in order to help them understand and experience the true meaning of death, so we can SAY YEAH to a new perspective on death. 死嘢 SAY YEAH is here to provide: 1. The SAY YEAH Hotline The SAY YEAH hotline mainly targets people who have suicidal thoughts and are seeking stress relief, to deliver them a message of: “what it means to cross the boundary between life and death.” 2. Popularize SAY YEAH Culture We intend to host regular events such as concerts, art projects, and stage plays to promote an active SAY YEAH culture to the people. 3. A Living Funeral Have you ever thought of how you would like to say goodbye to your friends and families? “A Living Funeral” offers you an opportunity to customise your “own” funeral. We believe that death is not as scary as it is after all. It will indeed allow you to understand and embrace death from another angle. 4. SAY YEAH Education SAY YEAH education organises various activities such as lectures, day trips, observation camps and it’s mission is to help youngsters to have open, positive perspectives and optimistic thoughts on death. 5.
