Welcome to the AURA Newsletter!

AURA is pleased to present this month's newsletter recapping May's news and events to our most important supporters. It simply would not be possible to continue our work with refugees without your help as: refugee sponsors, volunteers, members, and/or donors.
As many of you know AURA held our Annual General Meeting in May, please click on the image to the right for a graphical representation of what AURA accomplished in 2013.
