It is with enthusiasm that we introduce you today to the founders of a dynamic and committed association which was created just a year and a half ago. Welcome to the world of Amélie & Matthieu from Voiles au Vert. Discover in this new portrait this dedicated couple who are making their dream of preserving our seas come true while letting you be inspired by their story and their achievements.
Voiles au Vert was founded about two years ago. Both sensitive to the protection of the marine environment, we wanted to create an association which combined our skills in the service of environmental preservation. Matthieu is a skipper and sailing instructor and Amélie is a school teacher. That's when the idea came to us to raise children's awareness of marine ecology by visiting schools on a sailing trip.
We are considering this adventure from different aspects.
First of all, we are extremely happy to be able to act at our level for a cause that is so close to our hearts. Being able to bring to fruition the preparation of this project which has been going on for 2 years is a real motivation to take off for 10 months!
In addition, we are impatient to discover, to reach out to others! Whether parents, children, teachers, locals, tourists or boaters, we believe that meeting is necessary to constantly evolve while maintaining the convictions that drive us.
Finally, this experience is also a real sporting and mental challenge that we deeply want to experience in order to realize our common passion for sailing.
We will carry out educational workshops for classes from CP to CM2 on plankton, responsible fishing and plastic pollution.
Beyond carrying out our awareness activities at a specific time for each school, we believe that the fact that teachers follow our adventure with their classes throughout the year will make it possible to mark the children even more on the subject of ecology.
The association was financed by different means. First of all, we paid a lot of money out of our own pocket. By examining our project, our loved ones helped us a lot financially (donations for participation in our association events, etc.). We were also supported with great enthusiasm by various partners (donations in kind or financial).
Yes, if we counted all of our partners, nearly 60 companies supported us in our project. Even though we still lack funding for this project, this is extremely encouraging for us.
People can help us by donating to our online fundraiser. Just type on Google “ Hello Asso Voiles au Vert ” and you will easily come across our page . A donation certificate is sent directly to donors so that they can make a tax deduction of 66% of the donation.
Every donation, even the smallest, is very precious and motivating!
Authenticity, quality and reassurance!
