Donation Update

June 25th, 2011

Throughout 2011, even though there have been many changes to the campaign, we have still received many of the much needed donations for the residents of El Talon. So many donations have been received, that we are now going to need to store them at another facility that will be announced soon. A special thanks goes out to everyone that has donated, such as Edison Gomez, Vickie Pacheco, Lilliana Correa Pinzon, Jan Henderson, Christine Kreutzer, Amy Lerman, Kevin Williams, and many more.

The donations are scheduled to be distributed during the December 23rd, 2011 celebration in El Talon, Colombia.

We invite you to follow us on Facebook (Beyond the Wall Campaign-Colombia) and through Twitter (@BeyondTheWallCO).

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.
