We are so thankful! Today we want to give a special shout out to the students at St Alban Roe School. This group volunteered to help us set up our Trivia Night. They did a great job and brought such great enthusiasm to effort to serve others. Bravo!

Don’t miss this super fun night! We only have a few tables left. Reserve yours now! All of the proceeds fund our mission trips to people in need. Join us!
SOfA completed another great week in El Salvador. We completed 110 procedures on 83 people. We also sent part of our team to perform laparoscopic procedures - this will greatly enhance the surgical capabilities there. All of this is possible due to your support. Thank you!
You never know where you’ll find SOfA volunteers. We had a great opportunity for surplus supplies- we just had to sort through it. Thank you ladies! https://t.co/z3RcGougeZ
In 2 weeks we return to Mision ILAC in Santiago, Dominican Republic! Pictured are a few memories from last year, when we completed 85 successful surgeries for patients in need.
Oh what a night! Thank you all for coming to our Trivia Night fundraiser. It seems that fun was had by all.
And thanks to all of our fabulous volunteers! It would not have happened without you.
We are so looking forward to our 2023 mission trips.
