If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
Please make sure both sides complete their Blessing application in their region (Europe) in time and that both Blessing Departments (in case matched to a candidate in another region) have been informed about the match (Matching report form).
Blessing participants are expected to arrive in Korea on the 8th of October 2010 and should plan to leave on the 12th of October 2010. We recommend you buy tickets through Wonse (wonse@wonse.de) that way you will be informed about any changes and it may be possible to fly together as a group.
Please make sure to complete your Blessing Application in time and register with the European Second Generation Blessing Department. Only candidates who complete the application in time and qualify for True Parents matching will be able to participate in True Parents matching.
Invited to participate in this matching are all Second Generation who meet the Cheon Il Guk Standard and are between 17 and 24 years old. Those who are over 24, but fulfill ALL other qualifications may apply. We will inform you about whether or not it will be possible for you to attend.

There will be a Workshop for Applicants of True Parents Matching in Korea between the 6th and the 8th of October 2010 and the matching by True Parents will take place during this time. Only people who are physically present will be able to participate (no picture matching). Therefore applicants for True Parents Matching are expected to arrive in Korea on the 5th of October 2010 and should plan to leave on the 12th of October 2010.
