The Blue Sky Society Trust
The ELEPHANT IGNITE EXPEDITION is spearheaded by Carla Geyser, founder and main trustee of The Blue Sky Society Trust.
The Blue Sky Society Trust is more than a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping people and animals in need; it’s a way of living. Carla aims to connect like-minded people to share their ideas, passion and skills and in doing so create change where it’s needed most. Her vision is to identify and manage various conservation projects where people, who want to help, are encouraged to donate their time, expertise and ideas to recognized charities. “People don’t always have large amounts of money to donate,” says Carla, “but they’ve got skills or perhaps a few hours a week to help out – that’s what it’s all about”.
Since it’s inception The Blue Sky Society Trust has contributed to a number of conservation projects:
- World Youth Rhino Summit 2014
- ZAPP Wing – Sleeping bags for rangers
- Fundimvelo Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage – Construction of security towers, water tanks, trees in rhino boma’s for shade, security doors, clinic fridge, medicines and other supplies. (Through BSS and associated contacts over 600K has been raised for the orphanage.)
- Sivikela Carniore Protection Project – Camera Traps
Carla is also an experienced African explorer and together with her planning team will work closely with other expedition leaders, the various elephant experts/groups and organisations to ensure meticulous planning and excecution of this uniquely African experience.
The concept of combining adventure with purpose is a result of Carla’s love of animal conservation and travel. Through the recent hugely successful ‘Elephant Ignite Expedition’ where every step of the trip was oriented towards learning and contributing to the many elephant projects along the way, she realised that these type of journeys could have a life changing experience and could reconnect people with nature. It’s a way of combining adventure and fun with positive people who are looking for experiences that will re-ignite their passion for humanity and the planet by doing something with purpose.
