2024.9.14 - 18 "YM² x Wai Ji More than Market"

In celebration of the 45th anniversary of Wai Ji Christian Service, the Agency collaborated with Yue Man Square (YM²) to organize "YM² x Wai Ji More than Market" from 14 to 18 September, 2024. This market aims to create employment opportunities and internship platforms for people with intellectual or other disabilities, promoting the concept of an inclusive community. Additionally, it seeks to enhance collaboration and communication among NGOs, social enterprises, and businesses, enriching the Mid-Autumn Festival experience while fostering mutual benefit.

 

The five-day "More than Market" attracted over 5,000 people to visit the 18 stalls from Wai Ji sheltered workshops, NGOs, social enterprises, and local stores. Mid-Autumn decorations, indigo-dyed fabrics, leather goods and woven bags became the popular handcrafted products in the market. The market also hosted workshops allowing more than 100 people to participate in craft creation.

 

Thank you to all organizations, groups, local shop owners and volunteers for their participation and support of the "More than Market", as well as their positive feedback. The public can purchase their unique crafts at the Market while gaining insights into our vocational rehabilitation services and the craftsmanship of people with disabilities. We hope to infuse more love and warmth into this Mid-Autumn festival and go beyond traditional market experience through our More than Market.
