Sharefish

    Get Involved: Be a Sharefish at Vinson Orthodontics

Vinson Orthodontics is excited to have the opportunity to sponsor three children from El Carrizo, Honduras through Sharefish, a local non-profit organization.  Angela, Yelsin and Carlos are now able to attend school and receive necessary resources for their families to ensure that they have the food and supplies they need to stay in school.

What is Sharefish?

Sharefish was started by 5 Raleigh “gringos” after mission trips to Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the world.  They witnessed children living in a perpetual cycle of poverty.  These children are unable to attend school as their families are unable to afford the materials.

Looking for ways to make a lasting impact, this small group created an organization to improve education, nutrition, housing, medical and economic opportunities in these impoverished communities.  Sponsorships are created to put kids in school, build libraries to increase literacy and provide basic medical education.

How can you help?

Dr. Vinson and our team invite you to participate in opportunities and events at our office throughout the year to reach out to these children and their community.  Information regarding these events will be available at our office , through our staff members and on our website. 

Explore sharefish.org to find out more about sponsorships, donations or to be inspired to find your own way to be a Sharefish.  Just share a little, that’s all it takes to make a lasting impression.

Have a Splendid Day!
