The Dominican Republic
After the successful completion of the first project in Panama, while filming it in its entirety, the organization was recruited to work in The Dominican Republic. In the spring of 2008, The Dominica School as well as Dona Chucha Orphanage were chosen to run Aurelius Art programs and volunteers were recruited in both the states and DR to help teach and raise money locally for the children of these two orphanages.

Dona Chucha Orphanage serves 88 girls between the ages of six and fifteen within Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. It is an institution where a family must qualify to have their children placed there, yet family members may see their children on weekends if they desire. This school was created to serve only young girls coming from the most impoverished and abusive of situations. The Aurelius itinerary expanded to include craft lessons where the girls learned to make wearable objects such as carnival masks, hair ornaments, shadow boxes and designed original patternmaking on T-shirts.
