AURORA HUMANITARIAN INITIATIVE

The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative is a foundation that seeks to address on-the-ground humanitarian challenges around
the world with the focus on helping the most destitute. Its mission is rooted in Armenian history in being founded on
behalf of survivors of the Armenian Genocide and in gratitude to their saviours. It strives to transform this experience of
gratitude into a global movement.

All Aurora’s activities are based on the universal concept of Gratitude in Action. It implies that countless people around
the world who have received aid in time of crisis can best express their gratitude by offering similar assistance to
someone else. By involving Aurora supporters around the world, this will become a global endeavour that will
snowball to expand the circle of saviours and most importantly — the number of those saved.

Aurora Humanitarian Initiative promotes action-based philanthropy focused on tangible results and remains flexible in its efforts to maximise the impact. With a targeted approach towards addressing real, on-the-ground and urgent humanitarian challenges, Aurora provides second chances to those who need it the most.

The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative is the vision of philanthropists Vartan Gregorian, Noubar Afeyan and Ruben Vardanyan, who have been joined by thousands of supporters and partners.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

ontrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
