Touched by the extraordinary lives of a group of about 85 women living in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, Kari Miller, a St. Louis Park schoolteacher, enlisted the help of her lifelong friend, Lisa Tschetter, and Carol Vogt, an Edina widow, to found the Dorcas Widows Fund, named for a biblical character who cared for widows.
...
Vogt, 48, an ex-mortgage banker, met Miller at a Bible study class.
...
"I'm a widow, and she started talking about these widows and all their needs," recalls Vogt.
"She had a big bag of beads and she dumped them out on the table.
She wanted to show them."
Vogt wanted to help, too.

Vogt visited the Dorcas widows in November, and Tschetter will be going there in June, with Miller.
