Thanks once again to the generous donations from many adoptive families in the US and Europe, the kind cooperation of Serita F.,  and the great support from our sister foundation Families for Familias, the Fourth Medical Mission was successfully held on August 29, 2012. A total of 41 women (out of 50 invited) were tested for cervical cancer. The name of the test is VIAA, and it was performed by Obras Sociales del Hermano Pedro, a hospital in Antigua Guatemala. 

The day of the clinic, Asociacion de Familia a Familia covered all of the following costs for  the 41 women attending:   Transportation, lodging, meals, medicine, lab tests and, as a result of the same, AFF will continue to cover subsequent treatments, ultrasounds, medicine, colposcopies, lab tests, cryo-therapies, gynecological consultations transportation, meals and lodging as needed.
