Beyond the Wall Club

September 20, 2011

As mentioned in a previous post, Beyond the Wall has spent the beginning of the Fall season preparing partnerships/clubs/alliances in order to complete the El Talon mission for December 2011.  Another example of progress is the creation of the Beyond the Wall Club at Timber Creek High School.  This particular project is very important and interesting, since the club had to be created and club members had to be recruited.  In order to successfully start the club, Mrs. Wendy Doromal became the official sponsor of the Beyond the Wall Club.  Mr. John Wright, Principal of Timber Creek High School, approved the club at an instant.  "Club Rush," which is an event held in the school cafeteria and gives all of Timber Creek's clubs the opportunity to showcase what they do, was very successful, where we managed to get many signatures of support.  Mr. Wright also approved an official presentation to be done during school at the school's performing arts center.  Beyond the Wall has support from the Hispanic Club and Student Government at Timber Creek High School as well.

• President:  Juan Esteban Cajigas
• Sponsor:  Mrs. Wendy Doromal
• Support:  Hispanic Club and Student Government at Timber Creek High School
• Car washes and an official presentation will be completed by the end of November 2011
• Community service hours will be provided to all students that become members of the club

With the creation of this club, we are now officially allowed to receive funds for the construction of the park and distribution event/medical mission in El Talon, Colombia on December 23rd, 2011.

Beyond the Wall would like to thank Mrs. Wendy Doromal, Mr. John Wright, the Hispanic Club, and student government for all of the continuing support at Timber Creek High School.  This school is where Beyond the Wall began!

ColSA-UCF

September 15, 2011

After Fernando's trip to Colombia in August, Beyond the Wall's board of directors decided to take a couple of weeks to prepare many events and contact support members in order to successfully complete the mission in El Talon this coming December.  Adriane Norman, Marketing Director for Beyond the Wall, contacted Jennifer Parra, Senior Advisor for ColSA- UCF (Colombian Student Association at the University of Central Florida) in order to reach some sort of partnership. Luckily, Jennifer showed complete support for Beyond the Wall, and an alliance was immediately created.  On September 1st, 2011, Fernando Nunez Esquiaqui, Director of Beyond the Wall, officially presented himself to all the ColSA members and board at their first general meeting; the result was positive feedback and support from everyone.  Luckily, Beyond the Wall has reached an agreement with this organization, and the following events will be organized by ColSA in order to support the Beyond the Wall Campaign:

• Sunday, November 20th, 2011:  Soccer Tournament at UCF
• Sunday, November 20th, 2011:  ColSA Party at Gloria's Cafe-Orlando

Aside from the two events mentioned above, ColSA will support Beyond the Wall with packing and presentations/events not organized by them.  The best part of this alliance is that beginning in January 2012, the proper planning will begin to organize a summer 2012 distribution/educational trip to El Talon with ColSA members.

This partnership will be growing within the next couple of months, and Beyond the Wall would like to thank the board members of ColSA-UCF for all of the support: Jennifer Parra, Jessica Barreto, Alanna Sanz, David Echavarria, Alexandra Ruiz, Jenny M. Garces, Favian Torres, and Santiago Duque.
