“What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Change the World.” – Simon Sinek
At Sonrisas Siempre we believe we can change the world by bettering the lives of other people. In 2009 that mission inspired Dr. Tom Blake and Dr. Steve Ellinwood to found this organization. Since then, we have been committed to improving the lives of individuals in Comayagua, Honduras.
Sonrisas Siempre provides dental services to underserved children in Hispanic America.
It does so by educating and providing preventative, restorative, and surgical care during dental service trips abroad.
For many children, Sonrisas Siempre means the difference between a life with or without teeth. For adults, it can mean the difference between living with painful toothaches or not. For those living in Central America, basic dental education means knowing not to scrape sugar off the cane – a practice that is common and leads to rapid and permanent tooth decay. Such education also teaches the benefits of brushing teeth, and gives the supplies necessary to do so.
Sonrisas Siempre makes a difference in the lives of many. Please consider whether and how you can help in that effort.
