Introducing Club Members – Thomas

🌟 Dive into the World of Thomas: Where Purpose and Passion Collide! 🌟

Here’s what he has to say –

“Hey, social media fam! 👋 I’m Thomas, a 28-year-old Dutchman residing in The Hague, where every corner feels like home sweet home. But let me rewind a bit: my journey has been sprinkled with adventures abroad, from Rwanda to Zambia, shaping my love for exploring new horizons. Now, I’m back in the Netherlands, embracing the vibrant life of this dynamic city.

By day, you’ll find me navigating the world of the Dutch Gambling Authority, where I manage the addiction prevention fund. It’s not just about overseeing casinos and lotteries; it’s about providing a safety net for those battling gambling addiction, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.

When I’m not immersed in work, I like travelling, visiting museums, watching football matches, and grabbing a beer with my friends. This year, Ireland awaits, with dreams of exploring the enchanting landscapes. And let’s not forget the allure of the west coast of the United States and the vibrant culture of Morocco, waiting to be discovered.

I’m also a proud member of Rotaract Scheveningen, where community comes alive. From lending a hand at city farms to spreading joy with the Salvation Army, every project is a chance to make a difference, fueled by laughter and camaraderie with fellow members.

What keeps me coming back to Rotaract? It’s the shared spirit of service and connection. Having been part of a service club in Eindhoven, I sought that same sense of belonging here, finding it in the diverse, international community of Rotaract Scheveningen.

My favorite Rotary era of focus? It’s got to be economic and community development. Why? Because it’s about creating pathways to success for everyone, empowering individuals to shape their destinies and build stronger communities.

To all the potential volunteers out there: Take the leap! Whether it’s a few hours or a regular commitment, the energy you give back to society will fill your heart in ways you never imagined. And if you choose to volunteer with Rotaract Scheveningen, you’ll not only find purpose but a group of ‘gezellige’ people as a bonus. 😉”
