Every day there are people taking time from their busy lives to help make the world a better place. Let them be the people we celebrate and talk about and follow.

A couple of times a week I do yoga with a rock star. Not exactly the kind who attracts arenas full of screaming fans, my yoga buddy is a friend who is a great inspiration — and a true rock star to me — because of the work she does every day that is making a difference in the world, both to her own uniquely blended family and an extended one that includes 30 widows and 3 children’s homes in Kenya.

I first met Michelle Outman last April through P.E.O., a women’s organization we both belong to that champions educational opportunities for women, when our local chapter held a meeting at her office to find out more about h.o.w? Jewelry (h.o.w? stands for helping orphans and widows).

Entering a two-story office connected to her home on the outskirts of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, we are greeted by Michelle in African dress and surrounded by displays of handmade crafts, beaded necklaces, bracelets and earrings, hand-loomed scarves, bowls, baskets and wire-and-beaded animals. On a nearby television are scenes from her last trip to Kenya, and several colorful photo books are scattered on tables.

On the landing are larger-than-life photographs of their twin boys, now 5, when they were babies. They had applied to adopt a healthy child from Ethiopia but God had bigger plans, she says, sending them twin infants with special needs to join their family of four including their teen-aged son and daughter, both of whom have served with their parents in Africa.

During our meeting, I begin to realize that Michelle has not just been participating in — but is leading — a project in rural Kenya supporting 30 widows, many of whom are HIV-positive or raising their orphaned grandchildren, and contributing funds and service to 3 children’s homes. Michelle has led mission teams annually, more recently twice a year, to assist the women in the business of making jewelry and other crafts to sustain their families and pay for their children’s education. h.o.w? buys their creations at market value, and Michelle brings them home to sell in the U.S.
“ I remember this moment like it was yesterday, ” Michelle says. “ It was the first trip I made to Kenya. July 2012. I’ll never forget how soft her cheek felt next to mine. ”

Her work has also included raising funds to furnish a library, build a new building, buy a wheelchair and furnish children’s dormitories with new bunk beds, fresh linens and colorful new paint, and help the widows and children with the many health-related challenges compounded by poverty. When one of the children needed medical attention for a severe ear infection and malnutrition, Michelle privately paid for his care until a donor could be found to provide the extra needs the children’s home could not.
