Second Namibian Scholarship Announced

As part of Stormsaver’s commitment to educating the next generation of environmentalists, it is proud to announce a second eco-scholarship with non-profit conservation experts, Biosphere Expeditions.

Ronny Huiseb, currently a wildlife tour guide in the Namib region, will be awarded the scholarship to help him learn more about sustainable living.

“I believe that tourism and conservation should go hand-in-hand, and I’m looking forward to working with the team at Biosphere Expeditions to learn more about conserving and protecting the environment,” comments Ronny.

Michael Farnsworth, managing director of Stormsaver, said: “I’m delighted to announce this second eco-scholarship. We’ve seen the great work that Biosphere Expeditions is doing in the region, educating young people about the importance of sustainable living and I hope by supporting the scholarship programme this will continue long into the future.

“We are proud to offer a number of eco-scholarships within the Namibian community to help them understand about conservation and their impact on the environment. Our first eco-scholarship recipient, Rachel Futter, is doing incredibly well and is already making a real difference to the local area. I hope Ronny will be able to learn the skills needed to ensure the future of the region and the surrounding areas.”
