On 23 September 2017, Shinnyo-en together with Pertapis had a fruitful Saturday morning as representatives from the two organisations came together for the annual International Coastal Clean-up at East Coast Beach. Close to 60 people participated in the annual event this year.

Members of Shinnyo-en Singapore have been contributing their time to the annual International Coastal Clean-up over the past four years to protect our environment. The Coastal Clean-up is initiated by the National University of Singapore.
