Crazy Mission Trip Update – Uganda & Ethiopia in July!

Posted on 11 February 2010 by Kari Gibson

Our July mission trip to Uganda & Ethiopia with Visiting Orphans is filling up fast!! Thank you for your amazing emails & prayers as we are building a team of 25 crazy, passionate, loving, inspiring, adventurous bloggy friends (men & women) to join us – July 19th through August 1st on a trip of a lifetime. Many of your hearts are stirring and praying about joining us and I want to encourage you to move forward in faith and do something radical.

I can’t wait to meet Katie Davis and all her girls- you don’t want to miss this adventure to Uganda! We will have the opportunity to feed over 1000 orphans that Katie has loved and cared for.

You do NOT need to pay the entire amount up front, but just reserve your spot for $200. You will be responsible for FUNraising and building your support team throughout the next months before the trip.

Things to do:

1. Fill out the Application to reserve your spot: VISITING ORPHANS WEBSITE.
2. Get a Passport (Check your expiration date please!!) http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html
3. Make an appointment at your Health Department for immunizations. Yellow Fever is the only shot that is mandatory, although I went ahead and got all the recommended shots, including Hepatitis A and B, Tetanus, and Typhoid http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/content/vaccinations.aspx

Fundraising Efforts:

1. Please send out donation request letters ASAP. Make them personal and include a self addressed return envelope!
