Date: 4 March 2006
Speaker: Carl Wilkin
Position: ADRA Director-Rwanda (1990-1994); now chaplain, Milo Adventist Academy , Oregon (1995-present)
Topic: “Seeds of Genocide: Witness to the Genocide in Rwanda ”
Venue: Chan Shun Hall
Attendance: 186
Presentation: Wilkin shared his experiences as ADRA director during the genocide of 1994-95. It could have been prevented if foreign soldiers had been allowed to intervene rather than simply evacuate white foreigners. While his wife Theresa & their three children left, Carl stayed to bring food, water, & medicine to orphans in Kigali . The causes of the “killing spree” were not race, ethnicity, or religion, but “greed, arrogance, and power.” He showed a video clip of foreign soldiers entering Rwanda ; it portrayed roadblocks, mutilated bodies, & natives pleading with journalists to be evacuated. Many Rwandans at the AAF meeting testified of their gratitude for Wilkin’s intervention.
