Donations transferred

August 21, 2011

Beyond the Wall has had the complete luck of always having many donations…so much, that it took up the space of a one-car garage.  All of the donations have always been stored in Fernando Nunez Esquiaqui's home; however, since more clothes, shoes, and toys keep getting donated, the space has become rather limited.  Thanks to Mr. Jorge Posada, all of the donations can now be stored in a home at the Sandy Creek neighborhood in east Orlando.  On August 17th, 2011, Juan Esteban Cajigas (Human Resource Manager), Marcos Pluguez, Gabriel Pluguez, and Fernando Nunez Esquiaqui (Director), all went to transfer the donations out of Fernando's home into the one at Sandy Creek.  It took about three to four hours since there were so many, but luckily it was all completed.  A U-Haul truck was used to finish this process.  Beyond the Wall would like to thank the Pluguez brothers and Juan Esteban Cajigas for all the help, and especially Mr. Jorge Posada for his support!

Outcome of trip to Colombia

August 21st, 2011

Fernando and Dr. Jaime Cajigas.

Fernando Nunez Esquiaqui, Director of the Beyond the Wall Campaign, recently traveled to Colombia to continue preparing for the 2011 Christmas distribution in El Talon.  On August 8th, Fernando flew to Cartagena to speak with Mr. Miguel Arnedo, Mayor of the Municipality of Turbaco, Bolivar (where El Talon is located).  The outcome of the meeting with Mr. Arnedo was a generous donation of land in the El Talon area to build a children's park.  This park will be inaugurated on December 23rd, 2011, during the planned distribution.  On August 11th, Fernando flew to Bogota, capital of Colombia, where he met with Dr. Jaime Cajigas, father of Juan Esteban Cajigas, Human Resource Manager for Beyond the Wall.  Dr. Cajigas confirmed full support for the campaign's upcoming distribution.  Fernando returned to Orlando on August 13th, and on August 18th, Dr. Cajigas confirmed that a medical mission will be conducted during the Beyond the Wall distribution/park inauguration on December 23rd, 2011.  

The trip to Cartagena and Bogota was very successful, as both a park and a medical mission was confirmed.  Beyond the Wall would like to thank Mr. Miguel Arnedo and Dr. Jaime Cajigas for all the support!

With Mr. Miguel Arnedo, Mayor of Turbaco, Bolivar.
