A close family: Julia Neubauer and the children of AIC, Pune, India.
Believe it or not, these children had probably been awake since 5:30 a.m., when their daily routine starts. And at 6:30 p.m. they were still going strong. But this is a typical day in Pune, India, where Julia Neubauer, CFO and site director for the Ashraya Initiative for Children (AIC), operates a home for children with care, kindness, and international charity.

Twenty-five-year-old Neubauer is a native of Rohrbach, Austria. Partly inspired by some of her international pen pals and partly wanting to see life outside of the picture-perfect surroundings of her hometown, she set her sights on going abroad.
