Malambo, Panama
The first project began just outside of Panama City at Malambo, Latin America's largest orphanage and home to about 120 children. During the project's initial phase in March 2007, “Aurelius for the Arts” volunteers taught a series of 90-minute art workshops for over four weeks. The positive responses were dramatic, and Aurelius is currently sponsoring an art teacher to hold classes at Malambo 3 times a week.

  
 
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.
