Beloved friend,

Even if you live far away, I hope that Villa Aurora remains in your heart.

Thanks be to God, the school is living a moment of great development, but we have need of your aid in order to carry ahead the mission of our school: to offer to all who feel called to the vocation to evangelism, to service and personal growth, the opportunity to prepare oneself within an environment that is in keeping within the principles of the Bible, in relation to the Adventist understanding, in order to render an effective service to the church and the world.

September marked the fifth year of instruction of the Faculty of theology. The institute, however, is now qualified to confer first and second level Diplomas. It is an important step that will see Villa Aurora among the first Adventist schools in Europe to offer such an advanced course of study.

The Masters of International Development of the Andrews University that takes place here every June, continues to be a success.The Department of Language, Culture and Italian Art continues its activity, attracting ever more students from the United States and other countries of the world. Moreover many young people, Adventist and not, reside here at Villa Aurora in order to attend neighbouring universities.

Due to the numerous activities of the institute we have need of expansion. For this reason we are in need of a new dormitory, and thanks be to God, it is already under construction.

But in order to finish this plan great investments are necessary. It is a plan that demands your aid. A contribution, together with that one of many other bothers, sister and friends will allow us to achieve this objective. Together, united in the desire to see our own school grow.
