The Marine Children Club Tokyo’s Offering for Children of Africa Guinea

One thousand origami cranes is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes held together by strings. An ancient Japanese legend promises that the gods will grant anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes a wish. Some stories believe you are given happiness and eternal good luck, instead of just one wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise) and is said to live for a thousand years: That is why 1000 cranes are made, one for each year. In some stories it is believed that the 1000 cranes must be completed within one year and they must all be made by the person who is to make the wish at the end. The Children of Japan are offering this to the children of Guinea in the message that they are all part of the same family.

The Completion & Reservation with Sheraton Grand Hotel of Guinea

Here is a feedback from a Media client of the Sheraton Grand: “It is with a great deal of pleasure (and some surprise) that I am about to post a gushing review of a Sheraton hotel in West Africa. For those of you who travel to this area of the world, accommodations and service are frequently less than stellar. Not so here. I can say without reservation that this is the single best Sheraton I have stayed at anywhere. Ever. It rivals the Ritz Carlton for outstanding training and service in every department. Its General Manager is from Belgium, and her European standards are apparent throughout. She should serve as an example for other GMs in the Sheraton Grand brand. This hotel is a brand new, no expense spared property that took three years to build, and it shows. Its rooms, bathrooms (usually my peeve), and facilities are outstanding. It has a Concierge Lounge with real food (not just peanuts and pretzels) available every minute it is opened, and its four staff members not only remember your name but what you eat and drink – after you have gone there a single time. And they serve you on full-size tables. The rooms are magnificent. The bathroom’s glass and marble, ultra-modern and spacious. A great spa. A lovely gym. A French chef whose amazing eclairs greet you in your room upon arrival. There is literally nothing they could do better. Do not stay anywhere else. If you have to overnight in the area, do everything you can to stay here rather than somewhere in Accra. And if you do not believe me, take the advice of the other hotels in the city who send all their VIP guests here. Really. Honestly, I never thought of the Sheraton as having a luxury brand in its inventory. This stay has changed my opinion of the entire chain. But do not take my word for it. See it for yourself”.

The Preparation of Feasibility Studies for Development by Mr. Paul Yapoga.

Mr. Paul Yapoga, our Minister of Economic Development, is in the phase of completing the comprehensive business plans for Guinea’s development. The feasibility studies were costly and elaborated under the supervision of exceptional people. With the moral support of Madane Koura Niele Outarra, also part of the delegation as president of the Marine Foundation Africa through Cote d’Ivoire, we embark into the reality of substance with all the projects and contracts at hand.

WATEROTOR in Guinea Conakry

Three major river headwaters arise in Guinea, West Africa; The Niger River, the Gambia River, and the Senegal River, which is among the 22 West African rivers that have their origins in Guinea. The Niger River flows northeast and then turns southwest towards the Atlantic. The Senegal and Gambia rivers flow northwest into the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the perfect location for the settlement of a “WATEROTOR” Headquarters for Africa right there amidst Guinea’s water kingdom. Waterotor will be able to feed the entire rural environment of the nations where electricity is still lacking.

Waterotor is a breakthrough patented hydrokinetic technology that converts over 50% of the available energy in slow-moving water (streams, rivers, canals, and Ocean currents) into electricity at speeds as slow as 3.2 km/h (0.9 m/s). The unique features of Waterotor: Low-speed water; Zero fuel needed; Working around the clock; Low ecological effects; Portable; Robust, solid construction and easy to install; Quality components; Replaceability.

The Waterotor Solution for Guinea

No other technology in this low speed realm, has proven this breakthrough for water-powered electricity.

According to the US Patent Office, this is a new era of energy capture due to Waterotor’s new blade design technology that simultaneously provides high lift and high drag.

When fully deployed, Waterotor technology will help meet the United Nation’s 2030 goal of sustainable development, bringing electricity to more than 2 billion people.

Rivers, canals, and major ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream are all venues for Waterotor and contain all the energy needed to power the planet and without carbon emissions.

Unlike propeller turbines submerged within water flow speeds that must be in excess of 6.5 mph and are harmful to the environment, the Waterotor is inexpensive, simple, robust, is easily installed, and doesn’t harm marine life. Go to the Waterotor Website

Mrs. Fatoumata Balde, President of Marine Foundation Guinea and African Providential Developments

We cannot praise Mrs. Balde enough for her unconditional and all-embracing efforts in doing all the preparative work in welcoming our delegation to Guinea. Although just a short few days of meeting His Excellency President Alpha Conde, the impact on the start of operations in the region will be significant. I am purchasing the tickets for our Japanese group in the coming week, and we will be ready to depart on a trip of discovery. My most cherished wishes stand entirely on setting up structures for the young. The grounds for that upcoming endeavor were well-founded by our President of Marine Foundation Cote d’Ivoire, Mrs. Koura N. Ouattara, who fought like a lioness to keep the first administration in order after my last visit to the continent in 2019. The city of  TABOU in Cote d’Ivoire has been appointed to installing a Maritime Department, which also relays directly with Conakry through Monrovia (Liberia) and Freetown (Sierra Leone). Strategically, Guinea will serve as a central development center to pilot projects that will benefit its neighboring nations (Cote d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Liberia) by the land’s ways. By the ways of the sea, Maritime concepts will start in Tabou relaying from Abidjan and Tabou directly to the other sea capital cities of Monrovia, Freetown, and Conakry. This concept of regional development implants the first 360-degree circle of developments by land and sea, then propagating towards the entire continent. This will be the perfect model microcosm of what will entirely provide Africa with the foundation that it needs to reclaim its status and birthright of being the greatest continent on the planet with the fastest-growing economy.
