Carl Wilkens, an American humanitarian, demonstrated extraordinary courage and compassion during the Rwandan genocide in 1994. While many foreigners evacuated, Wilkens, a husband and father of three, chose to remain, determined to fulfill his commitment to the Rwandan people. Amidst the chaos and violence, he became the only American to remain in Rwanda, risking his life to help those in need, specifically two people whom he worked with. Wilkens' most remarkable act was his pivotal role in saving over 400 orphans, sheltering them in a local orphanage and providing for their needs despite the immense danger surrounding them. His selflessness and unwavering dedication to the cause of humanity serve as a testament to the power of individual action in the face of unimaginable adversity. Carl Wilkens' heroism serves as an enduring example of the profound impact one person can have in the darkest of times.
