The Admiral
After having lived in several cities before, I recently moved to The Hague for work. I enjoy creative hobbies, from photography to theatre. I joined Rotaract because it seems like an active group of young people who are committed to the well-being of the community.
Kevin (President)
Originally from Strasbourg, France, I have lived and worked in the US and Vietnam. I now enjoy life in the beautiful city of Delft with my wife and two children. After several years working in international logistics, I am now a happy stay-at-home dad (SAHD). With the idea of changing career paths, I have been doing academic research on geopolitics. I find participating in Rotaract activities both fascinating and fulfilling. Together with a fun and diverse group of people, we set up local and global projects ourselves, always in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Pierpaolo
I’m from Rome, where I lived and completed my studies in Business. After graduating in 2016, I decided to move abroad in search of new opportunities and ended up in The Hague, where I sold Dutch vegetables all around the world. Through Rotaract Club Scheveningen, I can contribute to the local community while gaining new input and ideas on a wide variety of topics, thanks to the club’s multicultural environment.
Emilia
Born and raised in Turku, Finland. In 2019, I moved to the Netherlands to experience new adventures and see what it’s like to live in another country. I currently work as an interior engineer in yacht building. Looking for like-minded people in my new home city, The Hague, I came across Rotaract Club Scheveningen, decided to join their events and meetings, and eventually became a full member. It’s such a joy to be part of this club — helping others and making the world a better place to live!
Daksh
Born and raised in India, I moved to the Netherlands about a year ago for my work as a software engineer. Being new to the city and looking for some volunteer activities, I came across Rotaract Scheveningen, and haven’t looked back since. Being a member not only gives me the opportunity to contribute to the betterment of society but also the chance to connect with young, like-minded individuals.
Lennard
Born and raised in Nijmegen. In my younger years, I volunteered for a long time at a music venue, where I met many different people. During the first lockdown, I came across Rotaract through Zoom parties and after the second one, I decided to stick around. Through the World of Rotaract Zoom meetings, I connected with people from all over the world. In a short time, I helped organize several international events, and it definitely left me wanting more!
Warsha
Born and raised in Suriname, where during my formative years I was strongly influenced by my Indian heritage as well as by Surinamese inclusivity. In Suriname, I was also an active Rotaractor with the Rotaract Club of F.R.E.S.H. In 2020, I moved to the Netherlands. I studied Human Resource Management and Public Sector Management. What I love most about Rotaract and Rotary is that, despite the great diversity in our members’ backgrounds and the many cities and countries we’re active in, we all share the same goal working together to make the world a better place. I’m proud to be part of Rotaract Club Scheveningen. We are a dynamic, forward-thinking, and above all, sustainable club!
Bertrand
My name is Bertrand U., born in Burundi (Bujumbura), East Africa, but raised in several different countries. I’ve always been passionate about social and political development. For this reason, I have travelled extensively and worked with various organizations around the world to support and promote democracy at the local, national, and European levels. I first came across Rotaract Scheveningen in 2017 but became active in 2022. I joined the club because I believe that each of us can contribute, step by step, to building a society where everyone feels at home, and where we all share the responsibility and duty to serve above self and stand by those in need.
Thomas
My name is Thomas. I was born in Dordrecht but have had the chance to live in many different places, both in the Netherlands and abroad. After two previous periods in The Hague, I returned in 2022 to the city of peace and justice for a third time, this time for my work as an Advisor for the Addiction Prevention Fund at the Dutch Gambling Authority. What I enjoy most about Rotaract Club Scheveningen is meeting such a diverse group of internationals and like-minded people. Together, we work to make a positive impact on the local community – for me, that means creating opportunities for those around us. By fostering a level playing field, everyone gets the chance to make the most of their own life.
Dunja
Hi! I grew up in the eastern part of the Netherlands but have been living in the Randstad since 2018 because of my work in aviation. In 2024, I moved to Voorburg and almost immediately joined Rotaract Scheveningen. I was already familiar with Rotaract, as I had been an active member in Amsterdam for several years. What appeals to me most is the combination of fundraising, personal development, and social activities. The opportunity to come up with and carry out projects together with peers from different backgrounds truly makes me happy. It allows me to stay socially engaged and gives me the chance to make a difference.
Isabella
I’ve been a member of Rotaract since 2018. What attracts me most is the mix of learning, helping, and friendship. At Rotaract, you meet many people who share your values, and there are endless opportunities for personal growth. As a data scientist at the Dutch central government, I help ministries make better use of HR data, look for patterns, and develop AI solutions. In my free time, I enjoy sports and spending time at the beach or by the sea. I also love music, literature, art, and history; and I can quickly get enthusiastic about many different topics.
Anastasia
My name is Anastasia, and I’m from Germany. I moved to the Netherlands to study International Communication Management. My first encounter with Rotaract was during the Youth Peace Summit 2025 in The Hague, an event partly organized by Rotaract Scheveningen. This experience inspired me to get actively involved as well. I want to contribute, bring people together, and help make the world a little better… step by step.
Rebecca
I’m Rebecca from Italy. I moved to the Netherlands last year and I’m currently studying International Relations and Organisations at Leiden University. I joined Rotaract because I’ve always enjoyed volunteering during high school, and this felt like the perfect way to stay involved and contribute to the community.
