Annual Operation Tuli 2015 – May 10, 2015

In the Philippines, there is a summer ritual called “Tuli”.  Every year, young kids (typically 8-14yrs old) undergo circumcision for various reasons whether health, religion, tradition, etc.

For some, it is considered as a boy’s rite of passage.  After overcoming the ordeal, there is a sense of fulfillment wherein one has prevailed over fear or cowardice.

In coordination with Masonic District RVII-A and the Municipal Health office of the Municipality of Cordova, Datu Lapu-Lapu Lodge No.347 annually offers mass circumcision (Operation Tuli) free of charge.  Last May 10, 2015 was again a very successful undertaking for the young kids of Cordova. There were about 250 kids that benefited the event.

Thank you to all those who participated and supported.  Below are the pictures during the activity. Enjoy!
