Aurora Humanitarian Initiative Foundation Inc
To support people and promote global projects tackling the needs of the most helpless and destitute Aurora is rooted in the events of the Armenian Genocide one hundred years ago and the enhancement of its position in the world's memory. We will uncover and tell stories of survival and humanity that transpired during the Genocide. In addition, the goal of the Organization is to generate global and local conversations about gratitude; about survivors and saviors from any time and from any place around the world; and about "on the ground" humanitarian projects that make a lasting difference.
