Change of dates

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

This post is to announce the change of dates for the Beyond the Wall Campaign.

The last day I will be picking up donations will be on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009. (Original date was Saturday, June 20th)
Between June 18th (Thursday) and June 20th (Saturday), I will dedicate those days to wash some of the clothes donated.
Between June 21st (Sunday) and June 23rd (Tuesday), I will dedicate those days to pack everything into boxes.
I am trying to coordinate a date to send all the donations to Colombia with the cargo company, but it should be on June 25th (Thursday).
The Beyond the Wall Campaign Event/Distribution in Colombia will be on Friday, July 17th, 2009.

The reason I have decided to move up the dates is because I do not want to have any issues with the shipping of the donations. In other words, it is just to be better prepared. I will end this post with an update on the donations (it's a lot more donations in person and more still need to be picked up):

What is Beyond the Wall?

Beyond the Wall is the name of an organization with the mission of continuing to help the needy town of El Talon, located in the outskirts of Cartagena, Colombia.

Fernando Nuñez Esquiaqui, resident of Orlando, FL and only 17 at the time, began this organization on December 23rd, 2008, when he promised the residents of El Talon some help. On July 18th, 2009, with the help of many supporters, Fernando successfully distributed donations that he picked up from central Florida to every residents in El Talon. Since 2008, Beyond the Wall has had five successful distributions in El Talon, with plans to continue. Medical missions have also been completed...with hopes for more!

Please support the Beyond the Wall Campaign!

I was born in Fountain Valley, California on May 29,1991. I have a sister named Carrie, who is two years older than me. My parents were born in Colombia; my father is from Palmira, Valle and my mother is from Turbaco, Bolivar. My family and I currently reside in Orlando, FL and I currently attend Valencia College. I really enjoy traveling, writing, and learning about different cultures. I am currently majoring in Economics, and when I graduate, I would also like to get my pilot's license…since aviation has always been a passion of mine. I have many plans in my life, and Beyond the Wall will always be part of them. I feel very proud to be a Colombian-American, and I believe that this is an excellent way to show my pride.
