December 2012 Sharefish Mission Trip

Vinson Orthodontics is excited that Sharefish took a mission trip in December 2012 to Village of El Carrizo in Honduras.  It was an opportunity to spend time with the villagers and make upcoming plans for 2013.  Sharefish is excited to announce that they have hired their first Honduran employee, a young lady named Lizzy.  She will be the liason between the families and children in El Carrizo and Sharefish.  When the people of El Carrizo were asked where they needed help most, their unanimous answer was an education for their children.  Lizzy will be an incredible key in the success of the educational process of the children and families in the village.

Sharefish is also excited to announce that they have purchased a small piece of land( about 8 acres) in El Carrizo to build a community learning center.  This would be a place that could focus on their efforts to reach deeper into the community through a center with books, computers, games and other learning tools to enhance the educational opportunities for the children.  This piece of land was purchased through donations but they still need help with donations to build and fill the community center with materials.  Once the community center is built, it will be aptly named APRENDE CONMIGO (Learn with Me).  

Please take the opportunity to learn more about the three children (Carlos, Angela and Yelsin) that Vinson Orthodontics is sponsoring.  There will be opportunites to reach out to these children and their communities at our office in the upcoming year.  We also hope to visit and meet these three children in the upcoming year.

For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.sharefish.org or watch the video below.
