After my graduation in 2016 I decided to move abroad looking for a new opportunity and I ended up in Den Haag, selling Dutch vegetables all around the world. With Rotaract Club Scheveningen I can give my contribution to the local community and receive every time new input and ideas about a very different topic, thanks to the multicultural environment of the club. |
![]() Froukje Een gesprek begint vaak met de vraag: wat doe je? Naar mijn idee is het eerder relevant te vertellen waar je vandaan komt en waar je naartoe wilt. Ik ben geboren en getogen in Den Haag. Na mijn studie kunstgeschiedenis in Leiden en verschillende periodes in het buitenland te hebben gewoond, ben ik teruggekeerd naar mijn geboortestad. Ik ben lid geworden van Rotaract omdat ik samen met andere young professionals wil bijdragen aan een samenleving waarin mensen zich met elkaar verbonden voelen. De bijeenkomsten zijn gezellig en vol inspiratie; het is interessant om nieuwe mensen vanuit diverse achtergronden en beroepsgroepen te ontmoeten en gezamenlijk te werken aan mooie projecten. |

![]() Warsha Born and raised in Suriname 🇸🇷 where during my formative years I received a strong influence from my Indian background as well as influence from Surinamese inclusiveness. In Suriname I have also been an active Rotaractor, at the Rotaract Club or F.R.E.S.H. In 2020 I moved to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 I also studied Human Resource Management and Management of the Public Sector. I think the best thing about Rotaract/Rotary is that despite the great variety in background of the members as well as the different cities/countries in which we are active, we all have the same goal. We work together to make the world a better place. I am proud to be part of the Rotaract Club Scheveningen. We are a dynamic, progressive and above all sustainable club! |

Thanks to the level playing field this creates, everyone can make the most out of their lives. |
![]() Dunja Hi! I grew up in the east 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 became a member of Rotaract Scheveningen. I was already familiar with Rotaract as I have been an active member in Amsterdam for a number of years. What appeals to me most is the mix of fundraising, personal development and social activities. The opportunity to come up with and implement projects together with peers from different backgrounds is something that makes me happy. This makes me socially involved and I hope to be able to make a difference. |
![]() Isabella I have been a member of Rotaract since 2018. What particularly attracts me there is the mix of learning, helping and friendship. At Rotaract, you meet many people who share your values, and you have endless opportunities to develop. As a data scientist at the central government, I help ministries with their use of HR data, try to find patterns in data and develop AI solutions. In my spare time, I enjoy sports and being on the beach or by the sea. I also love music, literature, art and history, and I can quickly get excited about many subjects. |
![]() Riisha Hi, I’m Riisha from Japan. I moved to the Netherlands for my exchange program at Leiden University.
