Celebration of Inclusion and Togetherness: Penang Cheshire Home at The OKU Fun and Inclusive Morning Programme

Penang, Malaysia - The morning began with warm smiles, joy, and meaningful conversations. Cheshire Home Penang celebrated the OKU Fun and Inclusive morning programme which co-organised by the Scouts Troop Subcommittee of Penang Cheshire Home and the Penang Community Harmony Care Association. Under the theme “Carnival For Persons with Disabilities and Their Families”, the programme invited persons with disabilities, families, volunteers, caregivers, and the community for a morning of fun and inclusive activities such as crafting, water sports, and any other recreational activities.

The president of Cheshire Home Penang, Mr. Andrew Koay Say Loke, said, “Today, we gather not only for a morning recreation and fellowship, but also to celebrate a value that is fundamental to every caring society: inclusion.”

The programme also provided an opportunity for participants to spend time together, build connections, and enjoy a welcoming community environment. Beyond the activities, it was also a celebration of inclusion and the importance of creating opportunities for persons with disabilities and their families to participate fully in community life.

Furthermore, Mr. Andrew Koay Say Loke emphasized that inclusion is not about bringing people into what already exists. It is about creating a better space for everyone.

Ultimately, the morning was a meaningful reminder that inclusion begins with coming together, creating connections, and ensuring that everyone has a place within the community.
