Wings for Progress serve Africa flying Peace Corps talent
Jane Hamilton, 30, from Indiana, volunteers with Wings for Progress to aid remote East African communities in Kenya and Ethiopia. The flying aid group, founded by Mike Stimac in 1961, uses four full time and three relief pilots to deliver food, medicine, equipment, and staff. They fly Cessnas to transport everything from refrigerators to stretchers, supporting irrigation, schools, dispensaries, and hospitals while aiming to bridge centuries of isolation.
