Our 2023 Participants
Munetsugu Kojima - CT
Sponsor Goal: $2000
Hello everyone! I am currently a 2nd year GPA participant and have been looking forward to NOCP ever since I was told that there was a program relating to my passion for marine zoology. I thought it would be nice to use this passion to deepen my relationship with God and True Parents, to continue finding the path towards my ideal self, and to find how I can personally contribute to ocean providence. Thank you!
Seiji Lindstrom - OH
Sponsor Goal: $2100
My goal for participating in NOCP is to get out of my routine. When my dad passed away this January, what I felt was that I wanted to be the man my father raised me to be. But I have been stuck in myself, not living up to that feeling. I know that NOCP will push me to confront what I must face. I am working hard to raise the funds needed to attend, but I am so grateful to you as anything offered is less I have to worry about.
Much love and gratitude, Seiji Lindstrom
Megu Kurita - HI
Sponsor Goal: $1000
Hi, my name is Megu and I am 18 years old, from Honolulu, HI. I have always been passionate about the ocean and been part in many different ocean sports such as surfing, scuba diving, and sailing. Whenever I am out in the ocean, I feel a lot of joy and love from God. By going to NOCP, I want to gain a deeper understanding of the ocean providence and grow my faith and relationship with God and True Parents. I hope that I can share my experiences to my local community and my friends and continue to grow as a future leader for the better good of this world. Thank you!

ALOHA EVERYONE! My name is Sonse and I am 18 years old, living on the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Currently, I’m attending college while serving as a CARP leader. In college, I am determined to pursue a degree in the business field to become a future world leader. Although it's far from now, I hope experiencing teamwork on the ocean and connecting to the natural world in Alaska can help me become a future leader who creates a difference in our society. With the experiences in NOCP, I know I can strengthen my personal relationship with God in the extraordinary environment of Alaska. Thank you!

Keanu Wright - CA
Sponsor Goal: $2000
Hello, I'm Keanu I'm 22 years old from California. I planned not to
attend Ocean Challenge this year because of the cost. However, this
year God taught me that money is not the end goal. What matters to God
is my growth into becoming a man integrity and true love. That's why I
chose to do Ocean Challenge. Plus I love the ocean and I've never been
fishing before so I am very excited. I wont make the claim that anyone
has any moral obligation to support me, but I'm grateful for any
support.
Emiri Ohki
Sponsor Goal: $600
I am Emiri Ohki, and I've been active in CARP DMV after doing GPA. I am excited to participate in Ocean Challenge in Kodiak, my hometown.
I am interested in this program because I want to deepen my experience of God's love through His creation and learn more about God and True Parents' heart for the ocean. By understanding and grasping such hearts they have, I want to use that to keep giving love to others during my time in CARP, my college journey, and wherever God guides me. I hope you can support my goals and intentions for doing NOCP. Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
