Ben Carson

“It does not matter where we come from or what we look like. If we recognize our abilities, are willing to learn and to use what we know in helping others, we will always have a place in the world.”

Rosebank School is very lucky to be able to take all the Year 5 and 6 students to hear renowned philanthropist and   paediatric neurosurgeon, Ben Carson speak on March 6 at Telstra Events centre. Dr. Carson has led an amazing life that has involved an incredible journey from poverty to Head of Paediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Dr. Carson came to prominence through his lifesaving surgery to separate twins joined at the back of the head.  He is coming to New Zealand thanks to Mainfreight to help Starship and Duffy Books in Homes support kiwi kids. More information on Ben Carson is available from the links below,
