【Wishing you a happy and prosperous Mid-Autumn Festival! 🌕🐰】   As we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, many of us will be enjoying traditional activities such as playing with lanterns 🏮 and savoring delicious mooncakes. 🥮 But beyond these festive pursuits, what truly matters is the time we spend with loved ones.   The old saying “Rejoice in full moon as we come as one” reminds us that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for togetherness and gratitude. 🤗 It's a chance to gather with family and friends, show appreciation for those who care for us, and bask in the warmth of each other's company under the radiant full moon.✨   So, let's put down our phones and take a moment to wish our loved ones a "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" in person. Let's spread love, kindness, and warmth to those who matter most.❤️ #HongKongSocietyforRehabilitation #hksr #MidAutumnFestival

【Foster ＃inclusivity - Let persons with disabilities enjoy summer breeze and the sea】 A heartfelt desire to allow persons with disabilities to experience the sea and share the joys of family time motivated a group of volunteers from the 香港八達通, the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, Wheel Power Challenge and the teams from the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation's ＃EasyAccessBus and ＃Community Rehabilitation Network, to support the beach wheelchair activity organised by the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation Society on a scorching summer day at Repulse Bay Beach. The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation advocates for the inclusiveness. With appropriate assistance, persons with disabilities can enjoy life just like anyone else. This activity allowed persons with disabilities to sit on beach wheelchairs and experience the delight of being by the sea. Thank you to all partners and supporting organisations in making this event a success! #HongKongSocietyforRehabilitation #accessibility #socialimpact
