The First Development World Bank’s vision is to become instrumental in every common-sense concept that supports the development of any region of the World. Its philosophy is to aim to a World of Peace, reiterating that the path to substantial economic growth through sustainability in its development approach cannot be ignored, consequently ensuring to take immediate actions where the needs are most vital to reviving a region with the tools that it needs to emerge out of moral decay. DWB stands on a project platform that means good for the people and it serves using the most effective promotional and monetization systems.

Opening Speech / Mr. Brian S. Mason - click here

My history started about 10 000 years ago through my ancestry with the Micmac Tribe of Eastern Canada. I was born part of an indigenous mother, and our family history is about 400 years. We are people that carry strong values. The Philosophy of the Trinity Group is one to become a world leader as an independent development bank by using diplomacy’s power at three levels of the government, financial, political, and religious. We want to work in harmony with governments and fulfill the need for corporations and governments to administrate better solutions to economic developments. Our vision reflects on knowing the past while dealing with the present, preparing us to build a better future for our children. Who is the Trinity Group? We would have to look at our Coat of Arms. There are three swords, and the first sword symbolizes power, protection, authority, courage, spiritual knighthood, and cavalry. The second sword represents power, authority, and strength, wealth, grandeur, and prosperity. The third sword represents the penetrating power of intellect and constant evolution worldwide. The lion protecting the coat of arms with the blue shield represents stability, courage, and the power to dominate. We represent trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, faith, and truth. This is the Trinity Group.

Speech / Mr. Hirofumi Sato - click here

Good evening distinguished guest, Ladies and Gentlemen; I am the chairman of the International Highway Foundation. The Korea-Japan tunnel is 230 kilometers long, and it is going the biggest project in the 21 century and could take up to 15 years to complete. Let me introduce myself. I graduated from Tokyo University and also worked with Mitsubishi. Three years ago, I became the chairman of this project. Three years ago, Monocle Magazine introduced our project. Last Year USA Jim Rogers, one major investor, interviewed us for one hour, and his review became intensely interesting. Therefore he visited our Japan construction place and said that the Japan-Korea Tunnel would be the most exciting project in the 21st century. If this happens, Japan will become a more extraordinary country. He said he would invest, but so far, it has been just words. Next year this project would be 40 years since its inception. We bought enormous pieces of land. Until now, we spent up to 120 million dollars. We have the necessary data for construction and detailed information about the seafloor and its infrastructure’s blueprint. The preparation is complete. All that is to clear is to get support from Korea and Japan and the funding for the project.
We need so much help from investors and the international community. We need to use the media, and I am delighted to have met Mr. Tomeo DR Gressard to help us achieve this today. I am also so happy to have been invited to this conference via Mr. Tomeo communication and Marine Foundation Platform. We are a Global Project. The Japan-Korea project is the Roman Roads of the 21st century and will economically benefit the entire world. We are presently organizing North West Asian countries’ communication system in the year to come. We are dearly looking for help, and we hope that all of you will become interested in joining us in this endeavor. Let’s fulfill worldwide peace together. Thank you very much, everyone.

I want to greet and honor everybody today and thank you for organizing such a wonderful moment together. I am very proud to be a part of the Trinity Group as president and Director of Europe and Vice President of DWB. The Trinity Group was born to support all people of different nations regardless of religion, race, country, culture, or social background. After immense sacrifice from the founding chairman Mr. Mason, the Trinity Group is simply explained in two words: New Reforms. Its wonderful words “New Reforms”. These cold wars that the entire world is facing, and the pandemic must stop. The Trinity group proclaiming new reforms means quality life for our children’s future, our nations, a new economic world order so that everybody can get a sustainable economic opportunity to realize their dreams, their projects, and their inventions. The Trinity Group represents the hopes and dreams of all native people of the world who historically have been mistreated and abandon. The Trinity Group will create a new banking system that does not use debts, following the growth of all African Countries and their economy, by bringing new massive private investments to develop green energies, infrastructure, mining, agriculture, etc. We are not conventionally giving economic aids, but we offer sustainable economic development solutions to provide for each citizen. All this is possible with the Trinity group using alternative energy and inventions to create dreamers scientists who have stored colossal innovations to transform our present world. We have to look into our current new technologies for development because we need to change the present system and implicate all regions of the world in unison.

For this reason, the Trinity group, with all its investors and staff all over the world, will make the right contribution for a moral, economic expansion that will help the rise of the native people into a new world reform and common sense. My final point would be talking about “Union” with announcing with immense pleasure the possible realization of the longest, most expensive tunnel ever created in human history that will connect South Korea and Japan and conceive a New International Highway that will unite all nations. This initiative invites the making of world peace by contributing to the economic expansion of all countries. All these dreams are coming through right now, thanks to our Trinity Croup’s efforts together with its supporters and investors. I say we are a team of winners as it doesn’t matter how many times we fall, but when we stand up again, we are more robust than before. With great pleasure, I greet all the participants today in this meeting, and I would like to leave for you the future, which will become the confirmation of all that was said today.

Thank you very much, my friend, Tomeo. Can you hear me, ok? My heartfelt greetings to everybody on this call. It is such a distinguished group. I am calling here speaking from Washington DC. And as Tomeo said, I am from the Washington Times; we speak to about 20 million people every day through our online properties, and I have known Mr. Sato for many years, and also the founders of the Times are the same visionaries as the undersea tunnel. I also have the pleasure Tomeo of working with Jim Rodgers and held a conference in Korea for the international association of peace and economic development. It is an honor to be with all of you. I see many friends from Japan and some from Africa. I miss traveling so much, but I think tonight I will have Suchi! Because Mr. Sato reminds me of Japan’s beautiful culture and maybe tomorrow an African meal. So thank you, Tomeo; God bless everybody, and may 2021 be the best year for all of us. Thank you!

Closing Statement / Mr. Brian S. Mason - click here

One word can describe the construction of the Japan-Korea Tunnel. The First phase in completing the international highway will help create world peace by uniting all continents and countries and towards sustainable economic developments. Reform is the word. This is the beginning of a new era for humanity, a new world order. We are ready to accomplish the most significant economic development endeavor in the 21st century. This word Reform is strategically being something that has to be applied swiftly and firmly with all of that it is composed of. It is an ideology of helping humanity through an unconventional and futuristic economic platform to be directed by myself and the Trinity Group, creating the first world’s most powerful instrument to develop the entire African continent and the world without creating debts using the law of common sense. This is the Trinity group’s challenge and bringing out a new reform and a new righteous world order positively. It can happen with the set up of sustainable projects that will create wealth in all parts of society. It represents sustainable economic support for people, corporations, and governments. It is helping people in countries in need and other flourishing ones to maintain a better way of life. This reform will secure future generations and present economies without the creation of debts. The tunnel project will change the world forever, and it is a reality. I say to everyone present today, always stand by your dreams and beliefs. The Platform will provide food, shelter, health, work, education, and creating wealth for all in a peaceful manner for Africa and the world in need; Giving hope, hope which will bring faith in people’s hearts for a better future through the generations to come. Today we are writing a new chapter in the history of the world. Thank you.

Project Japan-Korea Tunnel

Assistance needed for the management development and auditing

Assistance needed for the management development and auditing” is a bit broad, so I’ll cover the most common interpretations based on standard business and professional contexts. This could refer to:
1. Management development (training, leadership programs, skill-building for managers) and how to audit/evaluate those programs.
2. Management audits (assessing the effectiveness of an organization’s management team, structures, and processes).
3. Assistance in developing or auditing management systems/processes (e.g., internal audits of leadership practices or compliance-related management).

Management Development Programs – What They Are and How to Audit Them

Management development involves structured programs to build leadership skills, strategic thinking, team management, and other competencies for current and future managers. Examples include rotational programs, leadership workshops, mentoring, or executive coaching (common in banks like M&T or hospitality like Hilton).

Key steps to audit/evaluate a management development program (to ensure it’s effective, aligned with business goals, and delivering ROI):

• Define objectives and metrics upfront: Link to business outcomes (e.g., improved retention, better performance scores, promotion rates from the program).
• Assess design and content: Review curriculum for relevance (e.g., covers current needs like AI/digital transformation, diversity, or risk management).
• Measure participant progress: Use pre/post assessments, 360-degree feedback, skill tests, or competency frameworks.
• Evaluate impact: Track long-term results (e.g., promotion rates, employee engagement surveys, business KPIs influenced by trained managers).
• Gather feedback: Surveys from participants, mentors, and line managers; conduct focus groups.
• Benchmark and improve: Compare against industry standards or similar programs; identify gaps (e.g., lack of follow-up coaching).
• Tools/techniques: Use Kirkpatrick’s 4 levels (reaction → learning → behavior → results) or ROI models for training audits.

Regular audits help refine programs, justify budgets, and adapt to changing needs

Management Audit (Organizational Assessment)

A management audit is a systematic, independent evaluation of a company’s management team, structures, processes, and capabilities—not individual performance reviews, but how well the overall management system achieves corporate objectives, serves stakeholders (shareholders, employees), and maintains efficiency/reputation.

Key focus areas in a management audit:

• Strategic planning and decision-making.
• Organizational structure and resource allocation.
• Leadership effectiveness and culture.
• Risk management, internal controls, and compliance.
• Human resources (talent development, succession planning).
• Operational efficiency and innovation.

How it’s typically conducted:

• Independent consultants (not internal auditors) perform it via interviews, document reviews, observations, and data analysis.
• Outputs: Recommendations for improvements, strengths/weaknesses report.

Benefits: Identifies blind spots, boosts productivity, enhances governance, and supports organizational development.
This is distinct from financial audits or internal audits (which focus more on controls/risks).

Practical Assistance Options

If you’re seeking hands-on help (e.g., for your organization in Japan or elsewhere):

• Internal tools/software: Platforms like AuditBoard, Hyperproof, TeamMate+, or Diligent for managing audits (including audit workflows for management-related processes).
• Training/resources: GAO’s Center for Audit Excellence (for public sector), professional bodies (e.g., IIA for internal audit certifications), or workshops on audit skills.
• Consulting: Firms specializing in management audits, leadership development, or HR assessments.
• Self-help starting points: Review ISO 19011 guidelines for auditing management systems, or use frameworks like Kirkpatrick for training evaluation.

What specific aspect do you need assistance with? For example:

• Designing/improving a management development program?
• Conducting or preparing for a management audit?
• Tools/templates for auditing leadership training?
• Something else (e.g., compliance in a specific sector)?

Public Relations

In my understanding of the corporate position of “Public Relation”, one leader’s first asset would need to possess the charismatic physiologic traits of being a magnet to others. A first God-given gift would look like something not granted to everyone. Being of noble descent and with the most beautiful intention for planet earth, Princess Sanyogita is certainly the most representative of a brand that translates into showing the utmost respect to others and therefore that special gift of being able to carry the most beautiful smile around. Marine Foundation’s members around the world are proud to be represented in PR with the beauty that it deserves and that also means to never underestimate the power of women when it comes to leadership. Marine Foundation, is said to be driven by the mother’s heart and that does not surprise me a bit when I look around and discover the magnificent ladies that have joined the platform. Inspired by her friends, also members of the international committee of the Brand, Naima Ben Mlouka, and Ayesha S.K. Engelbrecht, Princess Sanyogita, joins the central team in communications with governments and royalties. Now that we have that beautiful smile and kindhearted driven will, surrounded by all the beauty the Princess represents for all the ladies of the foundation’s leadership platform, we surely see the light, marching towards a better future for all children and women of the world.

Cote D’Ivoire’s Majestuous Grand Opening Ceremony in Abidjan

Amazing Grand-Opening ceremony for the Marine Foundation Africa through Cote d’Ivoire & Mrs. Koura N. Ouattara.

It was something that I did not expect in the greatness in came about and the surprises that came along minutes by minutes on the beautiful day of February 20, 2019. The organization of the event was perfect and I was moved by everyone who came there and especially the organizers who ranged from government officials to business leaders and many dignitaries. What was most heartfelt was the children represented by Manuella Ouattara who came and delivered a speech of the heart.

We were blessed for the event to be sponsored with the presence of Her Excellency Professor Mariatou Kone, Minister of Solidarity, Social Cohesion and the Fight Against Poverty. She was so graceful in delivering a very powerful speech announcing the activities of the Marine Foundation Cote D’Ivoire and Africa.

I was also blessed to have a very special encounter with the Governor of Abidjan, His Excellency Beugre Mambe, who was most graceful spending a little time together in the sharing of the future with the Marine Foundation. But there were so many wonderful guests and even friends who had come from other countries like Senegal, Mr. Matar Diop Kane representing the foundation there.

I will forever cherish that first moment of stepping onto African soil, the motherland, where I believe everything will take place to solve the problems of the world. Africa is the future and Cote d’Ivoire is to me a most beautiful country in the world. It has everything it needs to become an economic power and a place where all the educational project of the Marine Foundation can take form. It has the heart of Africa through its serein and beautiful people who truly represents a nation filled with kindness and traditional virtues. I was so pleased to be welcomed, in the ways of true respect and real genuine effort of making this a wonderful start of operation for the Marine Foundation, in the extent of encouraging us to do our very best.

Opening prayer with Bishop Ouattara Mohamed Idriss who deliver the most powerful opening statement. Bishop has churches around the world and is prominent with his own media group in the set up of cable news channels.

The Honor of the Sponsorship of Her Excellency Minister Mariatou Kone

Madame Minister Her Excellency Mariatou Kone became the “Marraine” of the event and presented her full support to the ceremony. Her speech of great emphasis on encouraging the Marine Foundation in socio-economic development for the region, was a message of hope and support. The Marine Foundation will fully join in supporting her ministry with all the beautiful programs we are designed to conduct.

TV Reports

There has been several TV reports and it all has been so positive. This particular report is credited to Bishop Ouattara whose TV station has been very kind in sharing the footage on the day’s event.

The Governor of Abidjan:

His Excellency Governor Beugre Mambe

Just before the event, His Excellency Govern of Abidjan had the kindness to make time for a short welcoming session together. He clearly mentioned that the Marine Foundation’s vision is suited to the region and therefore we are so welcome to start operations here. Projects that mean good for the city are most expected and notably in the realm of education.

Since His Excellency has a background in civil engineering, it is going convenient to bring to Abidjan with the best feasibility study group from Japan I am aware of. Abidjan is a beautiful city and I can clearly understand the ambition of pulling the city to become a heaven for tourism and a place of great gatherings.

To be here today, on such a short notice was truly a blessing and I can really appreciate all what our President Mrs. Ouattara has done to make this possible. I really look forward to the development of the port Abidjan and its maritime industries.

The President of “La Region Bagoue“:

His Excellency President Siama Bamba

President Bamba has been all help and supports much before and after the event. His region in the north is in full development with agriculture the main industry. Truly appreciated from beginning to end, I found here a brother and a great partner to well being of our endeavors in Africa.

Government of Abidjan:

Vice-Governor Samuel Mobio

I do not have all the names yet although the team in Abidjan is preparing all the data but there was so many nice people coming to our support in the preparation of the event. I found myself in the midst of new friends and supporters and quite frankly, very beautiful people. My French speaking is not as eloquent as the people there and I had to really think up my words translated from English.

Government Delegate:

President Karamoko Abdel Kader

Honorable Diomande Mamadou, an extraordinary gentleman who also put his cars to our disposition while our trip to Abidjan before and after the ceremony. I will always be ever so grateful. (Next to him the dignitary Lady Madame Toure).

Deputy of the City of Seguela:

Honorable Diomande Mamadou

I salute Honorable Diomande Mamadou, an extraordinary gentleman who also put his cars to our disposition while our trip to Abidjan (photo below). I will always be ever so grateful. (Next to him the Dignitary Lady Madame Toure).

Honoring Our Queen, the person who made it all possible:

President of Cote D’Ivoire, Headquarters for Africa, Her Excellency Koura N. Ouattara

President Koura N. Ouattara has pioneered the way for Marine Foundation to establish in Africa for about five years of patience, endurance and reflection. The Marine Foundation concept is something that does not come out of the ordinary and working through the vision for a stable and ensuring start was not an easy task. We are so grateful that on February 20, 2019, of this day, her vision came true with the help and support of those sacrificial volunteers who truly came to the rescue and those whose hopes are firmly grounded in the development of Africa, for African, by Africa, and from Africa.

Children Ambassador of Marine Foundation Africa: Princess Manuela Ouattara

Princess Manuela, Children Ambassador

At Marine Foundation, we call children from 5 to 16 years of age with the appellation of “Prince” or “Princess”. This is the concept of a corporate kingdom where all children are blessed as the owners of the future. To affirm the protection of humanity, we need to understand that children are the rightful inheritance of the creation and they need to be treated as preciously as we care for our life. Marine Foundation has engineered a program to bring all children to absolute safety and care.

Marinef Ministry of Art Education:

Artist Jospin Lohanga Exposes at the Event

I cannot tell you how happy I was to finally meet the amazing Jospin! This was to me a great revelation and the discovery of what Africa represents to world cultures. All we would ever want to know about life itself is written through the soil of Africa the Motherland, and Jospin knows how to express it so abundantly through his art. We are so grateful he was here to offer glorify the day.

A Perfect Gift

It is during his stay in Abidjan and while preparing for the event that Jospin dedicated his talent to supporting the Marine Foundation with the offering of a masterpiece portrait to Her Excellency Minister Mariatou Kone. This is to say how much everyone went out of their way to participate in making this event even more beautiful. At the entrance hall of the Hotel de Ville, several pieces were in display for the world to see.

Thank You Abidjan! Thank You for the Most Amazing Welcome into the Motherland!

Ceremonial Coronation as Traditional Chief (Chef Coutunier)

Although the Marine Foundation comes to bring new educational system around the world, my own education started the day I landed in Cote d’Ivoire Africa. I have never seen anything like it and I probably never will again. I was honored with the title of “Chief of Tradition” a very high tribal ranking in the country, rarely given to anyone. What a surprise! as it was indeed unexpected.

Thanks to the Beautiful Staff!

Thanks to You Mrs. President Koura N. Ouattara!

Truly and I will always wonder how our President Mrs. Outtara was able to put to light such an organization in view of the superb event on February 20th, 2019. This is one of those miracles which only heaven can explain. Please enjoy the rest of the photos below.

Surprising Visit at the Embassy of Oman & Abeer’s Art is beautiful!

MAY 2018

Oman – Wikipedia

It’s important to have good relations in Tokyo and Abeer Ayche spouse of the Ambassador of Oman in Tokyo is one wonderful friend! A visit at the Embassy of Oman for the occasion of a private party to display her beautiful talent as a photographer left me with unexpected encounters…

I remember meeting Abeer Ayche many years ago when she was just taking on photography as her favorite art and pass time and yes she has come a long way to some mastery, now displaying some hundreds of her masterpiece in the beautiful hall of the majestuous Oman Embassy of Tokyo. As we arrived at the venue, Ayumi and I were meet by the many blue licensed plates diplomatic cars parked all along the Hiroo prime neighborhood of Tokyo. Little did I know, the guest list was not very large but carved with VIP’s we don’t usually see on many occasions, a friend-only type of gathering who appreciates the conquest of time to the betterment of each other. One of Abeer’s good friend is Mrs. Abe, First Lady of Japan and frankly, that was good enough to draw attention to the rest of the crowd, wondering who else was here to give this exhibit all the splendor it so deserves. Abeer has a beautiful child who is handicapped and she has always touched my heart in the way her passion in life and others is far above than many of her high ranking circles. Truly grateful to have met this day from the kindness of her invitation and leading us to greet and the First Lady of Japan. Saying that I am simply expressing that ART is a language that everyone can understand, regardless of status or background, we stand equally in awe to the creation of one’s creation bravely displayed to the recognition of others. Thank you Abeer, you were so beautiful as ever and your exhibit’s message was to me, a message of peace, acceptance and the most beautiful photography I have ever seen in Tokyo!
