Dear Families,

In loving memory of Celia and Carolina, two birth mothers who recently passed away due to advanced cancer, Asociación De Familia a Familia with the help of our sister foundation in the US, Families For Familias, will carry out the Second Medical Mission on October 5th to test women for cervical cancer.  The name of the test is IVAA, and it will be performed by Hospital Obras Sociales del Hermano Pedro, in Antigua Guatemala. 

In Guatemala, among deaths related to cancer, cervical cancer ranks first in reproductive age women, and second among women of all ages.  This cancer is responsible for over 16% of deaths related to cancer, compared to 4% of breast cancer.  At the National Institute of Oncology (INCAN for its acronym in Spanish), 60% of the cases of women with cancer are of cervical cancer.

Please contact us if you wish to make a donation for the medical mission and we kindly remind you that all the donations through Families For Familias are tax deductible.  Contact us at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you!
