Recent Staff Changes at Dui Hua
After more than two years of dedicated service, Dui Hua’s program associate Nevenka Mattenet has decided to leave the foundation in order to apply to business school. She will therefore be leaving Dui Hua, effective November 3.
Nevenka has played an important role in expanding Dui Hua’s relations with foreign governments and the United Nations, and she has been active in coordinating the foundation’s outreach and fundraising events. Most recently, Nevenka has represented Dui Hua at film festivals in the western United States to present the film “Prisonnière à Lhassa,” which features the work of The Dui Hua Foundation in securing the release of the Tibetan nun Ngawang Sangdrol. She has also been a frequent contributor to our newsletter and been responsible for overseeing updates to our web site.
Following Nevenka’s departure, all program-related communications should be directed to Mabel Ma, Dui Hua’s new executive assistant. Mabel joins us after graduating from the University of California at San Diego with a master’s degree in Pacific International Affairs, where her focus was on Chinese international relations. A native of Beijing, Mabel received her B.A. in International Politics before spending several years working and studying in Germany, where she also earned a master’s degree from Ruhr-University Bochum. Fluent in Chinese, English, and German, Mabel will be valuable in developing Dui Hua’s many important relationships around the world.
Another recent addition to the Dui Hua team is Martin Witte, who joins us as a research assistant with responsibility for carrying out our daily research activities and updating our comprehensive prisoner database. Martin comes to Dui Hua with extensive experience working in both the nonprofit and China-related sectors and has been involved in many translation and editing projects related to China’s development, environment, politics, and education. He is a graduate of the Monterey Institute of International Studies (M.A, International Policy Studies) and Knox College (B.A., English Writing). Martin has spent a total of four years in China teaching English in Wuhan, Chengdu, and Dalian, during which he attained advanced proficiency in Chinese and gained firsthand knowledge of Chinese culture and society.
The entire Dui Hua family welcomes Mabel and Martin to our team and thanks Nevenka for her superb contributions. We wish her great success as she continues her education and look forward to seeing her in the future as she contributes to our work in a volunteer capacity.
