Ever since he was a young boy, Aurelio has liked carpentry and masonry. He first began working with SOL when the Learning Resource Center was undergoing renovations in 2000. Since then he has worked with SOL on a number of construction projects, including school construction and building maintenance. An accomplished carpenter, he has also built furniture for the Learning Resource Center and a number of schools.

Aurelio says, “I really like the way the SOL staff works together, and I am pleased that SOL has relied on my work over the years. Through my work, I’ve learned different skills and ways of working. I like my job because every day we deal with different people in the community. Also, working full-time for SOL has given me a sense of stability.”
