Say Yeah Limited

EducationHuman Services

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. The Perfect Funeral In addition, 死嘢 SAY YEAH offers a unique one-stop funeral service to long-term patients and elderlies in memory of the deceased.

Yan Chai Hospital

EducationHealth

Tsin Wan (with the meaning of “shallow bay”), the original name of Tsuen Wan, was a small town along the coast and hills of West New Territories with low population and poor transportation. The local residents mostly engaged with fishing and farming. In the mid-20th century, the Hong Kong Government planned to develop Tsuen Wan as one of the “Satellite Towns”. Since then, Tsuen Wan was developed rapidly. Influx of working labours and grassroots led to insatiable demand of medical facilities, as there was only one clinic in the district, the “Tsuen Wan Trade Association Residents Clinic”. Residents in Tsuen Wan could only go to Kowloon for better medical treatments. On 15 June 1959, Mr. Yip Tak-fan, the Chairman of Tsuen Wan Trade Association, proposed to build a local hospital to cope with increasing medical demands. He lined up local leaders and businessmen, Mr. Chow Kwan-shing, Mr. Hui Tim, Mr. Yau Tze-tin and Mr. Ho Chuen-yiu, and started the preparatory work for the establishment of Yan Chai Hospital. In early 1962, the Tsuen Wan Trade Association formed the "Organising Committee for the Founding of Yan Chai Hospital". Unfortunately, Mr. Yip Tak-fan fell sick from overwork and passed away on 25 August 1962. Mr. Deacon Chiu Te-kan was elected to the Chairman of the Tsuen Wan Trade Association and carried on Mr. Yip’s unfinished mission. In that period, Tsuen Wan Rural Committee provided great assistance for the establishment of Yan Chai Hospital.

Island Waldorf School Limited

Education

Started in September 2017, Island Waldorf School is the first school on Hong Kong island to offer high quality Waldorf education to children aged 3-14. It is also a non-profit, bilingual Waldorf school. By 2021/22, we offer classes from lower kindergarten to Class 6. We will grow organically by adding one more class over each of the following years until we reach grade 8. Our campuses are located in Kennedy Town and Shek Tong Tsui and are easily accessible by public transport. Given the prevalence of highly stressful exam-oriented educational cultures in Asia, and also with recent events inflicting varying degrees of individual and collective trauma, the health-giving quality of the Steiner Waldorf education is much needed by the children and their families in Hong Kong. The pedagogy helps children develop physical, emotional, intellectual, personal, social, artistic, and practical skills in an integrated and holistic manner; truly an education of the head-heart-hands. With strong emphasis on freedom and creativity, a high value is placed on child-initiated play in the early years, imagination in the primary school and critical thinking at secondary level. Diversity among children is embraced in an atmosphere of trust and reverence of the individual, the community, and the earth. The Island Waldorf School offers this healing education in Hong Kong since 2017. The student body has grown from 11 to 100 with classes from kindergarten to Class 6. IWS will add classes yearly until Class 8. IWS is entirely funded by parents' contribution and community donations. Find out more about us at iws.edu.hk!

茫茫業海，芸芸眾生。綱紀敗壞，名教沉淪。人間蠅營狗苟者眾，追名逐利如中蠱毒，醉生夢死如飲狂泉，遂致三尸五毒交煎，原罪業障連綿。更有甚者，與眷屬仇敵生生世世輾轉輪迴六道，綑綁難分，最終永墮地獄，無有出期。 東周戰國時期，孟子曾對滕文公曰：「世衰道微，邪說暴行有作，臣弒其君者有之，子弒其父者有之。孔子懼，作春秋。」諸君見文思義，自可想像當時各類邪說歪理四起、暴行惡事不息。各人在權色名利之前，父母不慈、子女不孝、臣民不忠、君主不仁。甚麼五常十善九美德全皆拋諸腦後，令到家國社稷如火坑苦海，人間永無寧日，地獄恆添新囚。 時至今天，雖距孟聖離世逾二千三百年，其聖言仍乃當今天下寫照。有見及此，香港有一信士，深明欲挽狂瀾，非佛莫屬，唯道是卜，遂發心立願要在此大都會中，建立一所道場，方便善信隨時也能前往讀誦《地藏王菩薩本願經》迴向給十方三界六道眾生。此大信士，即前雲鶴山房主持梁景文道長是也。 梁道長立此願後，遂向　呂純陽祖師問乩賜示具體細節。首張乩文告知梁道長，虛空藏菩薩、地藏王菩薩及呂祖仙師均會長駐於此道場。呂祖仙師並賜與本祠「二藏仙祠」之名，以分別代表本祠能為「天地人」三界眾生服務之深意。
