Freemasonry means different things to each member.

• Some would say it’s a personal development program which promotes family and community values.

• Others would describe Freemasonry as a chance for both social interaction and "philosophical brainstorming".

• Freemasonry also provides an opportunity for public service, and hands-on involvement in charitable or community issues.

• The short answer to the question, "What is Freemasonry" is that it’s one of the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organisations.

Made up of 5 million Freemasons around the world, it has adopted the fundamental principles of integrity, goodwill, and charity as foundations for an individual’s life and character.

• So, a Freemason strives to be moral and ethical.

• A Freemason teaches and practices concern for people.

• He cares for the less fortunate, and helps those in need.

• And all this is done irrespective of cultural or ethnic background.
