Project Managers

Dr. Wayne and Dr. Paulette have been family physicians for over 30 years in Red Deer, AB. The married couple have both travelled extensively around the world dedicating their lives to medical service. We are pleased that they have agreed to volunteer as Directors for ABW’s Medical Program. In this role, they coordinate all of the medical services that ABW provides, including dental, rehab/physio, surgery, training services, and medical trips.

Stu has volunteered with A Better World since 2004 and sits on the marketing and communications committee as well. A partner in Advanced Systems in Red Deer, he has been on more than ten trips to various project locations. Stu has been in the oil industry for the past 25 years. He recently retired from his position as VP of Business Development for Parkland Fuel Corporation. He is also a major donor to A Better World, funding several water projects.

“I volunteer with ABW because of the impact we make on communities through our Community Development Model, while maintaining accountability and transparency to our donors.”

Azalea has volunteered with A Better World since 2009 and has travelled twice to Kenya and six times to Afghanistan. She is currently a medical student at the University of Calgary.

“I am passionate about bringing opportunity to girls in Afghanistan. A Better World is making it possible for that dream to be realized.”

 Karen has supported A Better World since its earliest years, and recently took on a formal position as a volunteer. A physiotherapist with Alberta Health Services in Lacombe, Alberta, she travelled to Kenya in 2012 and 2013 overseeing physical rehabilitation projects. She has made several trips to Kenya since then to provide rehabilitation. Karen is pictured above at Kendu Bay encouraging some children about to go in for surgery.

“I have seen disabled children transformed and believe that we can make a difference one life at a time.”
