Wells of Life founder funds Ugandan well with Irish help
Nick Jordan profiles Wells of Life founder Monsignor James McGowan, an Irish centenarian priest in Orange County, whose $2,000 donation and a government check help build a water well in Abiya village, Uganda. The project honors six Berkeley students who died in a balcony collapse and will aid 1,000 locals, especially girls, by reducing water collection distances and schooling setbacks.
