Our Board of Directors

Dorien van SchieDorien van Schiedirector and, until May 2010, chair
‘As a natural pioneer I make a living as a self-employed copywriter, communications advisor,  journalist and writing trainer. I love my work but I’m happiest with my feet stuck in the mud surrounded by the laughter from the kids and their parents!’
Janet MoltmakerJanet Moltmakercommittee member and future chair
‘I found the passion and enthusiasm among the MPP people contagious. I am happy to be able to contribute my business experience and expertise in direct marketing to management and fund-raising.’
Ton JanssenTon Janssentreasurer
‘In my daily life I am one of two directors at Finext, an independent organisation of 200 financial specialists. Why did I choose to support MPP with my financial expertise? Using relatively little means, MPP makes education accessible and turns a desperate situation into one with a future full of possibilities.’
Esther ElsingerEsther ElsingerBoard secretary
‘I work as an interim human resources manager, coach and trainer. During my trip to Nicaragua I was moved by the desperate situation of many children and their families. Empowerment is the key to a sustainable solution and I want to contribute towards that solution through Mpowering People.’
Angeli PoulssenAngeli Poulssen - Board member
‘In a world where the opportunities to live a dignified, peaceful and healthy life are unequally distributed, organisations like MPowering People are beacons of hope. All children deserve the chance to live a good life and I feel the best way to achieve this is by investing in education in the way MPP does. This relatively small organisation also offers personal guidance and a bit of fun and love, something that is desperately needed in the slums of León. As director of the Todos foundation (future through sports) I want to share my knowledge and network to contribute to this fantastic project.’
