Oct 30 – Speakers Musset Pierre-Jerome and Raj Ramdath:
Musset gave a very entertaining talk about his life, starting in Haiti, experiencing “raised by a village”, transitioning to Canada (Ottawa) where his father worked at the embassy, met Nadia (watch video), then evolving as an economist, working/travelling, all in the while believing in the volunteering and community service. His video is on our facebook page, you will hear how much fun our club has during our meetings!
Raj gave a fascinating story about his life, from his start as part of a large family of 10 in extreme poverty in Trinidad, the strong belief of his family in education which enabled him to be able to travel and work in 5 different countries and to reach a MBA (and honourary doctorate, in recognition of his work in Cameroon). Raj has been a Rotarian for almost 40 years, first joining in Barbados. He’s also an author, leaving soon on a promotional tour.
