Reporting Around the Sun: A 120-Day Perspective of the Marine Foundation’s Journey in 2024

Whatever you do in your life, the sun is a constant witness. This celestial body, the center point of our solar system, silently oversees every moment of our existence. Imagine if the sun could speak. If asked, it could recount the stories of any individual you choose, illustrating the interconnectedness of our lives through time and the Earth’s orbit around it.

As we reflect on the first 120 days of the year, it’s clear that the Marine Foundation has been a vibrant presence in the lives of many, just as the sun has been. So, how have these past months shaped the perceptions others may have of you? While it’s not essential to be overly concerned with others’ opinions, the impact of our actions—especially the kindness and support we extend—can ripple through our communities, touching lives and nurturing spirits.

“Living for the sake of others” can encapsulate the ethos of self-expression in service to communal joy and well-being. This principle is deeply embedded in the Marine Foundation’s activities and missions.

Review of the First Quarter: Progress and Projections

In the early months of 2024, the Marine Foundation has continued to build on its legacy of transformative projects and international cooperation. Here are key highlights and where we are steering towards:

Educational Initiatives: The launch of the ‘Kingdom Schools’ in Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire has progressed, with construction on schedule and curriculum development tailored to foster academic excellence and civic and cultural awareness among students.

Health Development: Through the Health Development Agency (HDA), we have expanded our network to deliver essential medical supplies and care, especially in hard-to-reach areas. The Pan African Wound Healing (PAWH) initiative has seen increased engagement, indicating a growing recognition of the importance of specialized healthcare services in Africa.

Economic Empowerment: Our collaboration with JAPIA and local industries continues to flourish, strengthening the financial ties between Africa and Japan while promoting sustainable development and technological transfer.

Environmental Sustainability: Recognizing the critical role of green technologies, the Foundation is in preliminary talks to launch pilot projects for green hydrogen plants, which promise to revolutionize energy resources while adhering to our commitment to environmental stewardship.

Community Engagement: We’ve seen remarkable participation in community development projects, with volunteers from around the globe contributing to the betterment of underprivileged areas. The enthusiasm and commitment of our volunteers have been instrumental in the success of these initiatives.

As we look to the future, the Marine Foundation is poised to expand its influence and operations. We plan to launch additional educational campuses under the ‘Sea Campus Universal’ model, extend our health initiatives to more regions, and deepen our commitment to economic and environmental sustainability.

The path ahead is bright, illuminated by the collective effort of our members, partners, and supporters. Together, under the sun’s watchful gaze, we continue to strive for a world where development, health, and education are accessible to all. As we orbit around our shared star, let’s remain united in our mission to bring joy and prosperity to every corner of the globe.

When an adversary seeks to control you, they first seize control of the land, eventually aiming to dominate your life. This is how the cycle of slavery began. However, the adversary cannot indefinitely confine you within a cage, as they must also manage the land they have usurped. By controlling your economy—your finances and way of life—they maintain their distance from your personal life. Thus, without freedom and independence, survival becomes the primary goal. Even among billionaires, about 99% are ensnared in the slavery of their wealth, unless they can find purpose in serving others. They become estranged from their own riches, becoming the epitome of a modern slave, shackled by societal norms.

This societal slavery is evident in nations like Japan, where achieving financial independence is not encouraged, and individuals remain bound by systemic constraints, preventing them from living for the betterment of others. The original objective of the adversary was to enslave everyone, regardless of wealth. The rich are entrapped by the banking structure, while the poor are constrained by societal norms. The path to peace, therefore, lies in economic development through a system that teaches people to live selflessly. Whether you are a nine-to-five worker or a millionaire who hoards their wealth, both are prisoners of their circumstances, unable to contribute meaningfully to society. From the smallest to the wealthiest, the cycle of slavery remains unbroken. The Marine Foundation emerges as a beacon of hope, dedicated to liberating the world from these shackles of societal and economic slavery.

The Marine Foundation is prohibited from engaging with individuals who are enslaved. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and many other billionaires are considered to be enslaved. Japanese society is characterized by rigid societal structures that hinder the emergence of innovative technologies necessary for the people’s survival. It is fortunate that the Chairman of the Marine Foundation is not only free from societal enslavement but also possesses the ability to liberate the entire world from such bondage.

Now, how do we identify with the sun that shines constantly, providing warmth and fostering growth in everything it touches? It’s as if the Creator has bestowed upon us a constant image of His personality, defining His character as a presence that remains steadfast regardless of our circumstances or state of mind. The sun eternally appears in space and time, serving as a reminder that we are all journeying towards the light.

Interestingly, out of the 365 days in a year, we can scarcely recall a single moment when we doubted the presence of the sun or questioned its beautiful purpose. The sun’s message to us is clear: it hopes that within our lifetime, we will have a moment of realization, breaking free from the chains of slavery. If we perceive the light correctly, we will understand that everything in our lives is preparing us for the next world. If we can emerge from this understanding, recognizing that true freedom lies in embracing our own responsibilities, then we can finally live a life of true purpose.

The enemy of freedom seeks to diminish our sense of responsibility and erode the morality of our true conscience. This is why many creators of systems are not inclined to liberate society. As long as we live under the fear of losing what little we have, we cannot attain true financial independence. Billionaires, despite their wealth, are often the greatest slaves, living in constant fear of losing their possessions. True freedom comes from realizing that nothing in this world truly belongs to us; everything is energy. The only life worth living is one dedicated to the betterment of others on a grand scale.

In the grand narrative of freedom, Africa emerges as the beacon of hope, the singular place where true freedom can be firmly established under just governance. It is in Africa that the melody of freedom will resound most profoundly. The current global powers, such as Japan, China, the United States, and Europe, will soon find themselves lagging behind, unable to keep pace with Africa’s march toward liberation.

The nations that were once abandoned and plundered for their resources, subjected to the brutality of enslavement, will now rise as the vanguard of freedom. These societies, long oppressed and marginalized, will soon transcend their hardships. Their only path to salvation will be to embrace Africa, the motherland of our planet, seeking solace and sustenance in its nurturing embrace. As Africa strides forward on the path to freedom, it beckons to the world, offering a vision of hope and a promise of a brighter tomorrow for all humanity.

As you gaze into the mirror each morning, you join a universal ritual. It’s a moment of introspection shared by all—before the day unfolds, we seek affirmation from our reflections. Questions flutter through your mind: Am I still looking good? Do I hold the promise of a good day? Am I the center of my universe? How do I measure up in the eyes of those around me? In those few minutes, we grapple with the essential inquiries of existence, hoping we are in good health, good spirits, or good company.

But beyond these reflections, what genuinely are we? How much time do we have on this earth? Interestingly, we tend to construct a somewhat optimistic view of ourselves. Yet, are we asking the right questions that validate our existence? We often measure our worth by possessions, societal status, and physical attributes—hair, muscles, and silhouette. But is this the proper comparison?

Consider this: Instead of measuring ourselves against others, which sets us on a path of strife, recognize that you are a unique creation. The true mastery lies not in comparison but in embracing our individuality within the broader tapestry of creation. If I told you that the universe itself is mirrored within your body and thoughts, you might feel unworthy, just as children are shielded from the burdens of ego.

In the realm of creation, beauty is defined by the essence, use, and purpose of all things, from the atom to the molecule. Each is vital, alive with a specific role. In the animal kingdom, comparisons are drawn only for mating—a critical act to ensure species’ survival through time.

For us humans, the great blessing is that we need not compare ourselves to others. Every person, born of a woman, possesses infinite value. Living in constant competition serves little purpose, except perhaps in striving to improve oneself to achieve personal satisfaction. Yet, the accurate measure of a human’s worth and the secret to absolute happiness is found in living for others.

This is the beauty of the substantial sun within you: It is not just a light that you hold but a radiant force that can illuminate the lives of others. As you face the mirror each day, remember that your most excellent reflections are not of yourself but of how brightly you shine for those around you.
