After working abroad in Africa during college, Carl Wilkens returned to the country of Rwanda with his wife and kids to build schools and operate health centers. During his tenure as the head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International, Americans were evacuated from Rwanda as a mass genocide swept the country. Dan sent his family back to America, but remained in Rwanda to continue to support the friends he had made. Now, Dan works as the Director of World Outside My Shoes, a non-profit educational and professional development organization committed to inspiring and equipping people to enter the world of other people.
