LOVE BEYOND THE WALL

As we gather amongst friends and families for this holiday season, it is imperative that we remember the countless brothers and sisters who can only join us in their memories. All too often many find themselves victims to the concept known as “out of sight and out of mind”. However, such a fate can be averted if only we remember to look beyond those that are in front of us and recognize those who have always stood by our side in the physical sense, the emotional sense, the mental sense, and the spiritual sense.

As 2010 quickly approaches, Despierta Boricua, Inc. and Levantate Latino, Inc. are prepared to enter the next stage of “Love Beyond The Wall”. This stage will allow for both our brothers and sisters who are currently incarcerated, as well as those who have been reunited with the outside community, and their family and friends to share their sentiments with the world via a book entitled “Love Beyond The Wall Volume 1”.

With an expected release of December 2010, all publishing expenses will be covered by both Despierta Boricua, Inc. and Levantate Latino, Inc.

Upon publication, those who contributed to this project by sharing their voice, will be
empowered to present themselves as published writers and may use the book as a foundation for any forums, events, activities, etcetera where their personal experiences can be shared for the purpose of community progression.

All proceeds of “Love Beyond The Wall Volume 1” will be used to fund community initiatives that directly benefit the children of our incarcerated brothers and sisters.

Beginning January 1, 2010 and until September 30, 2010, we encourage you all to send your poems, stories, pictures, and overall reflections to either mission@despiertaboricua.com or PO Box 37095, Phoenix, AZ 85069.

We must always remember that our true scope of vision is not limited to what our eyes can “see”….we must also look with our heart and soul.

In the struggle,
