The Christian Business Fellowship of Martin County welcomes World Vision Representative.

Michelle Howe is an Independent Consultant and National Vice President of Arbonne International, a 28 year-old Health, Wellness, and Anti-Aging Company. On Thursday, June 19, 2008, Michelle presented her mission as a Child Ambassador for World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty.

Michelle and her husband are both graduates of South Fork High School, and have two girls, 8 and 6 ½ years old. Michelle resides in Palm City, and is very active in her church, Covenant Fellowship Church of Stuart.

Michelle has recently taken on the role to assist with the sponsorship of hundreds of children through World Vision, a 50-year old Christian relief agency that is currently working in over one hundred countries to reach some of the 30,000 children that die each day from hunger and treatable diseases. Through the presentation, there were several children that were sponsored, supporting the efforts of World Vision in assisting the child, family and community simultaneously. World Vision's mission is that, "If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime".

The Christian Business Fellowship thanks Michelle Howe for her time and dedication to one of the world's premiere relief agencies, reporting that over 87 % of their proceeds go directly to the families and communities.
