Angel Wings is run by these selfless volunteers

  • Carl Drew

    FOUNDER / DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

    When the earthquake of 2010 hit Haiti, Carl stepped in to help AWI mobilize supplies and provide medical aid.

    While in Haiti, Carl cast a vision of what the future could hold for the people of Haiti, in the way of having a permanent medical clinic that could serve them in a powerful way. He then went to work on that mission, fully devoting his life's energy to help make that dream a reality for AWI and the people of Haiti.

    Carl graduated from Wabash College with degrees in Psychology and Chemistry. He is a certified EMT and Wilderness First Responder, and has been honored as a Paul Harris Fellow for "service to others" from Rotary International.
