Two years after the death of its founder, a local missions group is starting to see his vision for the children of Uganda become reality. Helping Hands Foreign Ministry founder Richard Kowalske died from malaria after returning from a trip to that African country, where he intended to set up a community for orphans and widows.The community, Village of Eden, eventually will be a home for more than 2,000 children “that would otherwise have died on the street,” the ministry’s co-founder Brenda Kowalske said.In a country that has limited access to medical care and clean drinking water, the village will be able to help a large number of people.Many children die from simple diseases, Kowalske said. She said many families are happy just to have someone pray with them and let them know they are loved.The hope is to teach the youth of Uganda about God and that they will take those teachings into the rest of the country and the world to spread the Gospel.“We want them to grow up knowing you can deal honestly in truth and love, and God will take care of you,” Kowalske said.The ministry recently purchased 133 acres of land in Uganda and began the initial phase of constructing the village.Kowalske said it can sometimes be a difficult process to build in a foreign country.
