US : Founder of mission group dies of malaria

An article from Gaines Ville Times :

" A longtime Gainesville chiropractor who, along with his wife, sold their possessions to become “missionaries to the missionaries” in founding Helping Hands Foreign Missions, died Saturday of malaria. He was 58.

Richard Kowalske had just returned from a trip to Uganda, where Helping Hands sponsors a project, “Village of Eden,” said Stan Bell, the organization’s secretary-treasurer.

Helping Hands plans to build an orphanage that will house and educate 2,000 children left homeless by the AIDS epidemic.His wife, Brenda, had gotten sick while they were in Uganda and she tested negative for malaria."
