Here is what he has to say –
Hello, social media family! I’m Bertrand U. Manegabe. By day, I’m a project coordinator working tirelessly across municipalities in South Holland, helping newcomers integrate into Dutch society and the professional world. Alongside this, I’m pursuing my MSc in Development Studies and Political Governance at Wageningen University & Research. 🌍✨
In my free time, I cherish moments with friends over a basketball game or a gym session. My love for walking around the city, observing people, and enjoying the natural surroundings fuels my passion for ethnography—a qualitative research method in social. 🏀🌳
At Rotaract Scheveningen, I’m currently an unofficial member of the communication committee. Balancing my time between Wageningen and my responsibilities keeps me in the background for now.

Here’s what he has to say about himself –
Greetings from Rotaract Club Scheveningen!
I’m Kevin Spinner, originally from Strasbourg, France. My journey has taken me from the US to Vietnam, and now, I’m soaking up life in the city of Delft with my lovely wife and two amazing kids.🌍🌷
After years in logistics, I’ve switched gears to embrace the joys of being a SAHD (Stay At Home Dad) 🏠👨👩👦👦 while also participating in academic research in geopolitics.
