New Blogger: Carl Wilkens

By Amy • August 26th, 2008

Carl Wilkens of WorldOutsideMyShoes.org comes to me from a "Blogger" blog.  He was looking for something that had the landing page like a website but the with capability of a blog.  His world traveling doesn’t leave him a lot of time to blog, but leave him feedback and encourage him on!

From Carl’s site:  Carl Wilkens is the former head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International in Rwanda. In 1994, he was the only American who chose to remain in the country after the genocide began.  His choice to stay and try to help resulted in preventing the massacre of hundreds of children over the course of the genocide. 

 

Wilkens was featured in Frontline’s "Ghosts of Rwanda"and "The Few Who Stayed: Defying Genocide,"an American Radio Works documentary which aired on National Public Radio. 

His story reminds us of the profound connection between history and the moral choices we face each day.  It also arms us with new insights in the fight against genocide  along with tools and inspiration  for re-evaluating the relationships we are part of every day.
