Uganda was absolutely amazing. I went with my church, to work with one of the organizations we support - Watoto- and couldn't have picked a better group of people to serve. Watoto is incredibly well run, and the people are amazing. I had the best two weeks ever, and cannot wait to go back! I will be uploading notes from my journal along with pictures in the days to follow, so stay tuned :)
Thanks for all your support and prayers -- I am so grateful! :)

It's Official!
Wow- it's really happening!! I can hardly believe it. I turned in all my money on October 1st. I am so amazed by how much I was able to raise for this trip! What a blessing! I seriously was not going to be able to do it alone, and thankfully a ton of my friends and family gave! I'm SOO thankful to everyone that donated!
I am getting really excited for my trip. I can't believe it's less than two months away! Whew. Time has flown by. Now the tough part is over (fundraising), and I can just look forward to the excitement of the trip.
We are going to put on a HUGE Christmas party, for over 2000 widows and orphans. CRAZY right? I am so excited. Our budget for the Christmas party (gifts, clothing, and food for 2000) is close to 150K. I was completely overwhelmed. I've never been a part of a church that gives so much (obviously it's because they are HUGE 5000+ a week) and consider myself really lucky to be a part of it.
In other news, I started volunteering with another church initiative, Generosity Water. Check it out online: www.generositywater.com. It's an amazing organization/division of Oasis, where we are eliminating the clean water crisis in Africa. Did you know that 1.1 billion people in this world do NOT have access to clean drinking water. Scary right? What G.W. does, is we sell bottles of water for $2 each, and 100% of the profits go to build wells and other water systems in Sub Saharan Africa and other nations without access to clean water. I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing organization! Let me know if you'd like to buy a case of bottled Generosity Water for your home or office, $48 for 24 bottles -- 100% going to an amazing cause! Talk about a deal.
Thanks again to all who gave towards my Uganda trip. I couldn't be more excited! I will definitely put that money to great use, and bless as many people as possible in Uganda. I will have TONS of stories and pictures to share when I get back.
Stay tuned for more updates on this incredible journey!
(Oh, and just an FYI- I'm already planning my next trip to Africa! Crazy I know :) My other church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Ventura, is planning a trip for 2010, and I am definitely going to be a part of that trip -- God willing! :) )

Insider Pages Uganda Fundraiser
Hello Everyone,
I have this AMAZING fundraiser - info below- that does not even require you to donate money. I know- how cool is that! Basically, you spend some time, writing reviews about all your favorite restaurants/businesses/doctors,etc for Insider Pages. All the details are below. Please spend some time writing reviews, as it will help me immensely! The cost of the trip is $3500.00, and my goal is to raise at least $1000 of that with Insider Pages. Click the link below, and review the terms/conditions. Let me know if you have ANY questions! All I'm asking for is your time, not $$. :)
I so appreciate your help & time - you are all amazing! And please forward to all your friends & family. The more people writing reviews the better. ALSO - they can be from anywhere in the US- so if you have friends in other states, that's awesome as well. With your help the possibilities are endless!
Blessings-
XOXO
Sara Clickenger
Dates: Our fundraiser starts 08/09/08 and ends on 08/25/08.
How to Participate:
1. Sign up at http://www.insiderpages.com/fundraisers/Oasis-Christian-Center-Uganda-Trip
2. Click on "Join this Fundraiser!"
3. Start reviewing businesses or services that you have used in the past two years. For each review you write, we will raise up to $1.50! Specifically, if you are the first to review a business, your review will earn us $1.50. If you are the second (or third, or fourth) reviewer to post a review, your review will earn us $0.50! Reviews of chains do not earn our organization money. When you pull up an organization, it will tell you - you can earn for reviewing this business, to benefit Oasis-Uganda. If an organization already has 4 reviews, unfortunately it will not earn us money. The best ones are the business that have not been reviewed yet- those earn a dollar. So think about all the unique, small, business that you frequent. Mom and Pop stores/restaurants/businesses - and try to get the first review :)
It's fast and easy to write 20 - 30 reviews. Check out this list of businesses for starters!
Restaurants
Retail stores
Dentist
Spas/Beauty shops
Doctor
Chiropractor
Health Clubs & Gyms
Contractors
Landscapers
Mechanics
Real Estate Agents
Gardeners
Insurance agents
Plumbers
Nursery Schoolds
Housecleaners
Accountants
Tutors
Tax Prep
Pet suppliers/grooming
Lawyers
Recruit friends and family over the age of 18 to help us raise money for the Uganda December 2008 Trip! You just need to point them to our fundraising page at http://www.insiderpages.com/fundraisers/Oasis-Christian-Center-Uganda-Trip. Anyone can write reviews & raise money for us - even if they are reviewing businesses in other cities & towns across the U.S.
Thank you for your support! Please let me know if you have ANY questions! :) This is an awesome way that you can help raise money, without having to reach into your own pockets!
Many Blessings,
Sara Rose Clickenger
