The village of this website’s namesake, Aura Yesenia Solis Hernandez has a local elementary school in need of a potable water supply. They have no running water, which makes it very difficult for the children to remain in class all morning. The teachers have to ask their students to bring water from home in order to use the bathroom and wash their hands.
The school needs a plumbing system to be built and safe water storage. The approximate cost of the running water project is $1,000 and would take approximately two months to complete. The school also is in dire need of books and learning materials, especially for the kindergarten and first grade. We aim to raise $1,520 for a plumbing system and learning materials such as crayons, paper, books, and coloring books. All projects on the Aura’s House site are 100% US tax deductible and 100% of donations go to our projects and the communities served.
Ciao! My name is Betty Mattei and I am a new volunteer here at Aura’s House. I’m currently a junior at The American University of Rome majoring in Film and Digital Media.

For a long time I have been eager to become a volunteer, …
Daniela’s family could benefit greatly from an income generating project so that their monthly income could increase. Currently, the family of seven lives off of only $100 a month.
Daniela’s mother has experience selling clothes and believes that they would be most successful in selling clothes and underwear form their home. With the income generated, Daniela’s family will be able to invest the profit of the business on more items and be able to sustain a better standard of living. We aim to raise $550 for underwear and fees.

Mario of the Emergency Education Project has been provided with everything that he needs to continue his education this year.
Mario’s new term of school began in March of 2013. In order to be prepared to start the term, he needed to be able to pay for the expenses of his mandatory school uniform and educational supplies. With your donations, we were able to send Mario to reach his educational dreams by raising funds for those supplies.
Dorothee Clinton won one of our recent raffles and decided to donate her prize to her sponsor child, Cristian Pila of Ecuador.
He has received gifts from Dorothee’s generous donations. Cristian and his family came to the Quito Children International office to receive their gifts. Dorothee’s gift provided some much needed food and cleaning products for Cristian and his family.
Cristian lives with his grandmother and aunt. They had very little food in the home when Children International’s local staff visited them. When Cristian came to CI’s office to receive the food and cleaning items, he asked “Where is my sponsor?” His grandmother told him that she was far away but that she gave all of this to him because she loves him very much. He told his grandmother and the staff that he “wanted to hug his sponsor.”
Meet two students of Aura’s village elementary school, Tania Paola and Tania Fabiola, who will be benefiting from your donations to Aura’s Elementary School Water Project. Both girls are in pre-school, and are attentive, good students who work hard to do their best. Paola would like to be a teacher someday while Fabiola dreams of becoming a chef. Their school is located fairly close to their home and it takes them about five minutes to walk there.
