Royal Lodge No. 207
September 8, 2026,
The Charity Committee, led by the Lodge Charity Steward, Dewayne Falconer, visited The Best Care Special School in Kingston 5. Joining him were members of the Lodge, including Dr. Reaud Gafoor, Master Alwyn Nicely, and Deanroy Anderson.
The brethren were warmly received by the Principal, Dr. Marcia Peak, and members of the school’s staff. The Best Care Special School currently has an enrollment of 107 students, all of whom have special educational needs. During the visit, Dr. Peak proudly highlighted the achievements of several students who were recently successful in the City & Guilds examinations.
As part of its charitable outreach, Royal Lodge No. 207 partnered with Dr. Reaud Gafoor to provide 40 school bags to the students. Each bag was filled with essential educational supplies, including writing books, pencils, printing paper, graph paper, and other school necessities.
Dr. Marcia Peak expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the Lodge and all those who contributed to the initiative. Master Alwyn Nicely reaffirmed Royal Lodge No. 207’s continued commitment to supporting the school and indicated the Lodge’s willingness to assist with other projects that the school is currently considering.
The morning proved to be especially meaningful for the brethren, who had the opportunity to sit with the students, interact with them, and share in their experiences. The visit was a fitting demonstration of the values of service, compassion, and community that underpin the Lodge’s charitable work.
Royal Lodge No. 207 extends sincere thanks to all sponsors, donors, and brethren who contributed to making this outreach possible. Their generosity and participation helped make the occasion a memorable and meaningful one for the students and the wider school community.
