2024 has been nothing short of inspiring and eventful for Rotaract Club Scheveningen. True to the spirit of Rotary, we’ve dedicated ourselves to making a positive impact on our community and beyond. From our ongoing mission to tackle the global issue of plastic soup to heartwarming local initiatives, every effort this year has been driven by our shared commitment to “Service Above Self.”
Our year began with ambitious projects aimed at addressing environmental concerns. Whether it was participating in beach clean-ups or spreading awareness about sustainable practices, we stood united in our fight against plastic pollution.
On the community front, we turned compassion into action. From collecting and distributing gifts for those in need to bringing festive cheer during Sinterklaas celebrations, we’ve worked tirelessly to make sure no one feels left behind. After all, there’s no better way to embody the holiday spirit than by giving back.
To cap off this remarkable year, we came together to celebrate our accomplishments over a joyful dinner—sharing stories, laughter, and plenty of good food (because what’s service without a little indulgence?).
As we close 2024, we’re already gearing up for what’s ahead. With 2025 on the horizon, we’re more motivated than ever to continue serving our community, growing as leaders, and having a bit of fun along the way.
Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming projects and events—because at Rotaract Club Scheveningen, we’re just getting started!

Hello, social media family! I’m Bertrand U. Manegabe.

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.
