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.
