🌕 Impact Hub Saigon tự hào là đối tác tác động (impact partner) của Ngày hội Trung Thu GiveFest, do 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 tổ chức tại Maan Legend Villa, Thảo Điền.

Phần việc của chúng tôi rất đơn giản: đảm bảo ngày hội này không chỉ bền vững, mà còn thật sự hòa nhập, bằng cách mời đến đây những doanh nghiệp và những con người vốn thường bị bỏ lại bên ngoài.

Tại phiên chợ hôm nay, bạn sẽ gặp:
🐚 Tác phẩm nghệ thuật làm thủ công từ vỏ ốc, của một nữ chủ doanh nghiệp điều hành công việc từ chiếc xe lăn
🧵 Túi macramé, được đan tay bởi những người phụ nữ khiếm thị
🧶 Sản phẩm móc len, do chính các gia đình có con bại não làm ra
👕 Dịch vụ giặt ủi, được vận hành bởi doanh nhân khiếm thính

Đây không phải là những gian hàng từ thiện. Đây là những doanh nghiệp thật sự: có sản phẩm, có giá, có khách hàng và có tiêu chuẩn. Điều họ thường bị thiếu không phải là sự thương cảm, mà là cơ hội tiếp cận thị trường, và một vị trí tốt tại một phiên chợ tốt.

Và tinh thần hòa nhập đó cũng bước lên sàn diễn lúc 18:00 👗
Show thời trang cộng đồng sẽ bao gồm những người mẫu khuyết tật sẽ sải bước cùng tất cả mọi người.

Đó chính là công việc chúng tôi theo đuổi. Kinh doanh hòa nhập, và mọi thứ hòa nhập khác, không phải là một hạng mục riêng biệt. Đó đơn giản là hình hài của mọi thứ khi cánh cửa thật sự được mở ra.

Vậy nên nếu hôm nay bạn đến, điều hữu ích nhất bạn có thể làm là: mua một món gì đó, và ở lại xem show. Hỏi người làm ra sản phẩm về nghề của họ. Xin danh thiếp. Theo dõi họ. Và đặt hàng lại vào tháng Mười Một, khi chẳng còn ai nhìn vào nữa. Vỗ tay thật to lúc 18:00.

Cảm ơn 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 rất nhiều vì đã tạo nên ngày hội này, và vì đã kiên định ngay từ đầu rằng sự hòa nhập phải là thật, chứ không phải để trang trí. Cảm ơn Maan Legend Villa đã mở một không gian như thế này cho một cộng đồng chúng ta và Hội Gia đình Trẻ bại não Việt Nam, đơn vị thụ hưởng của ngày hôm nay.

Một vầng trăng. Một phiên chợ. Một sàn diễn. Tất cả cùng đứng dưới ánh trăng ấy. 🌙

🌕 Impact Hub Saigon is proud to be the impact partner of the Inclusive Mid Autumn GiveFest "UNDER THE SAME MOON", hosted by Social ChangeMakers at Maan Legend Villa, Thảo Điền.

Our part of the day is simple: making sure the day isn't only sustainable, but inclusive, by bringing ventures and people to the table who are usually left off it.

At the market today, you'll find:
🐚 Art pieces handmade from snail shells, by a woman entrepreneur who runs her business from a wheelchair
🧵 Macramé bags, hand-woven by women who are blind
🧶 Crochet pieces, made by families raising children with cerebral palsy
👕 A laundry service, run by Deaf entrepreneurs

These are not charity stalls. They are businesses: with products, pricing, customers and standards. What they have too often been denied is not sympathy but access: to markets, to visibility, to a good spot at a good fair on a good Sunday.

And the same principle walks the runway at 6pm. 👗

The community fashion show is inclusive by design, not as a gesture. Volunteer models with disabilities walking alongside everyone else.
That's the work. Inclusive entrepreneurship, and inclusive everything else, isn't a separate category. It's what things look like when the door is actually open.

So if you're coming today, here's the most useful thing you can do: buy something, and stay for the show. Ask the makers about their craft. Take their cards. Follow them. Order again in November when nobody's watching. Cheer loudly at 6pm.

A huge thank you to Social ChangeMakers for building this day, and for insisting from the start that inclusion had to be real rather than decorative. Thank you to Maan Legend Villa for opening a space like this to a crowd like ours, and to the Cerebral Palsy Family Association of Vietnam, today's charity beneficiary.

One moon. One market. One runway. Everyone under it. 🌙

📚 Human Library Saigon is BACK! And this time, we're keeping it beautifully simple!! ✈️🌍

No theme. No labels. Just life.

This August, our Human Books have one thing in common: they've lived. Internationally, fully, and with plenty of stories to prove it. They are the kind of people you sit next to at a dinner party and realise two hours have passed without noticing.

Come spend an afternoon in great company 💛

=== 📚 HUMAN BOOKS 📚 ===

📗 Sean O'Cillin 🇮🇪 Ireland
"I'm not stopping until I've seen it all"
Some people collect passport stamps. Sean collects countries, all tattooed on his skin. A lifelong traveller who hit the road young and never really stopped, Sean carries his entire journey with him, literally. Come ask him which stamp was the hardest to earn.

📘 David Watts Barton 🇺🇸 USA
"International Renaissance Man of Mystery"
David Watts Barton began writing at 16, travelling at 19, and writing songs at 22. In the half-century since, he's continued to do all three: working as a journalist, radio personality and blogger, living across California, New York City, Berlin, Italy and Saigon, and releasing two albums of music. And other stuff, too.

📕 Hanlie Wilson 🇿🇦 South Africa
"The Marathon called LIFE"
Hanlie Wilson is a South African music teacher based in Ho Chi Minh City, where she teaches at the International German School and has become a cherished part of the CHANCE Charity Shop community. Her chapters: life across continents, music as a universal language, and what it means to build a home far from where you started.

=== 📖 ABOUT HUMAN LIBRARY SAIGON ===

Inspired by The Human Library initiative from Denmark, Human Library Saigon brings together extraordinary people as "Human Books" for intimate small-group conversations called "reading sessions." Readers sit with a Human Book for 30 minutes, ask questions, hear stories, and walk away seeing the world a little differently.

Real people. Real stories. Warm, unhurried conversations.

There's one conversation you keep putting off.
Maybe it's the rate that should have gone up months ago.
The scope that quietly grew past what you agreed to.
The boundary you rehearse in your head but never say out loud.
Most of us assume we just don't know how to negotiate.
Often, we do. It's something else that's stopping us.

On Thursday 3 September, 4–6pm at Impact Hub Saigon, we're hosting the first workshop in our Impact Skills Lab series: "The Negotiation You're Avoiding," facilitated by Nam Ma Kim, entrepreneur and coach - someone who's spent three decades negotiating everything from corporate budgets to bedtime.

No role play. No pressure to share more than you want to. Just two hours to name what's actually in your way, and leave with a real sentence you can say, and a real date to say it.

Only 10 spots.
200,000 VND for IHS members
300,000 VND for everyone else
Includes a juice/coffee from our venue partner!

📍 99 Nguyễn Cửu Vân, Bình Thạnh
🔗 Register link: https://luma.com/hjk3a5c3

Stick around after for street food and a drink with the group if you're up for it.

This is the first in a new series of entrepreneurship training workshops we're rolling out at IHS: all linked, all built for Saigon impact entrepreneur community.
