Urgent Action for SISU Expeditions

Donation protected
(Version Française plus bas)

The Mission:

SISU Expeditions is a journey aspiring to create new dialogues. Subjects deemed inconvenient have become taboo and blissful ignorance has become commonplace. Through the expedition, Jeanne and Jade are preparing to create short films and documentaries that will bring to light conservation subjects that are being muted and suppressed.

This will include the dire issues of wildlife poaching, water toxicity, and plastic pollution. They will sail using wind, solar, and hydro power on a course to uncover the calamitous effects of these issues on local communities, environs, fauna, and the ecosystem.

With a new way of thinking and positive actions; nature and society can be reconciled. Proverbs 31:8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

Jeanne and Jade will continue working this year to earn the budget needed for the travels, environmental research, and film project. This mission is the result of a long time conviction and merits the proper time to plan before executing in January of 2019.

The search through thousands of listings for a vessel has been continual and a vessel that checks every essential box of their unique and powerful project has been found! The synchronicity of finding an opportunity for such a vessel is incredible.

For this reason, they have started a crowdfunding as the vessel’s price has been dropped drastically and will be sold quite rapidly. Due to the immediacy of the sale, they urgently need your help spreading the word. We are calling on your generosity and action; donations big or small will contribute to the success of this mission.

To purchase the vessel, the urgent budget needed is $19,000. Once the vessel is acquired, you can follow their progress in preparing this journey on their YouTube channel for SISU Expeditions.

Once the vessel is launched you will be able to become a part of these travels and experiences and are welcome to join them onboard to be an eyewitness of the impact of this expedition.

They are looking forward to sharing this journey, sparking new ideas and conversations, and using your generosity and ideas to pay it forward, continuing the butterfly effect.

Thank you for your support and faith in our cause!


VF de la part de Laure:

Sisu Expeditions : ce sont deux cousines, Jeanne et Jade. Elles vont prendre la mer dans le but de documenter la pollution maritime et le braconnage en mer pour parler de la santé de nos océans.
L’une est vidéaste, l’autre capitaine de bateau. Des collaborations avec des scientifiques en biologie marine sont à prévoir (oh oui, ça va être fou !).

Une occasion en or se présente pour acheter le bateau qui les fera naviguer et qui nous fera voyager à travers leurs reportages.

Bref, si tu aimes ta planète ou même juste si tu as la flemme de faire le tri de ta poubelle et mettre un euro dans ce projet soulagera ta conscience écologique 5 minutes , clique sous le lien juste dessous !!

Merci merci pour elles ! Jeanne et Jade ont besoin de notre aide !! ( et pour nous aussi, car rien que l’idée d’avoir des photos de tortues sur nos feeds tous les matins nous remplit d’une joie immense )



Background:

Jeanne, 30, has been a motion designer, photographer and videographer since 2010. Her work can be seen with Arte TV, Canal+, l'Oreal Paris, Total, Audi, Sosh, CBC Kids, Mars, Canadian Olympics, Tetley, Air Liquide... (tv + advertising).

She received her BTS degree in Graphic and Motion Design from the ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres in Paris after studying Art and Medias for 6 years. After that she lived for two years in Bangalore, India. She did volunteer work in a school there, teaching art and crafts in the slum of Cox town.

She is currently based in Vancouver working as a motion designer. In her free time, she explorers the world, sharing the magic through her photographs.

"You just have to live and life will give you pictures.” -Henri Cartier Bresson


Jade, 26, always lived on or near the water and has been a merchant mariner since 2012. She received her B.S. in Marine Transportation. Working on cargo ships, motor yachts, and sailing vessels has given her the opportunity to travel and address many of these conservation issues first hand.

Her maritime travels this past year have led her to Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, California, Florida, Martinique, France, Monaco, and the Caribbean. Now she will be navigating through the Gulf of Mexico, across the Atlantic, and around the Mediterranean.

Her motivation for joining this expedition comes from a shared vision with Jeanne to create an environment that inspires responsible travel. As Jacques Cousteau said, “People protect what they love.” As an explorer at heart with a passion for conservation, she believes effective communication is the key for a new course of action of positive change.

Jeanne and Jade are united by their deep connection to nature and want to inspire people to lead conscious, honest, tolerant, and ethical lives.
