COASTAL CLEAN-UP & PADDLE GIVING TO FISHERMEN

May 30, 2026

The Cavite Masonic Lodge No. 2 successfully conducted its outreach program, “Coastal Clean-Up & Paddle Giving to Fishermen,” at Barangay 29, Cavite City.

The activity brought together brethren, volunteers, and community members in a collective effort to preserve and protect the coastal environment. Participants gathered and removed trash, plastic waste, and other debris along the shoreline, helping restore the cleanliness and beauty of the coastal area.

The Coastal Cleanup and Paddle-Giving Charity Projects were successfully conducted. The teams diligently collected trash and debris along the coastline, contributing to a cleaner and healthier coastal environment.

The beneficiary fishermen expressed their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation upon receiving their new banca paddles. Their smiles and words of thanks reflected the positive impact of the project, which not only supported their livelihood but also strengthened the spirit of community service and brotherhood.

The success of this charitable endeavor demonstrates the commitment of Cavite Masonic Lodge No. 2 to serving the community and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.
