Agreed. We know that Jonathan pulled the plug on the concert at Martha’s Vineyard, but that wasn’t effectively communicated to us.

That said, we can reach out to Jen and the Wailers and find plenty of great, fun ways to partner going forward.  Wonderful that they still want to work with us!

I think it's all on WFP direct- and JB. We never had an issue when she was dealing with us directly.

Hi Hunter.
Thank you very much for putting Jen’s email on our radar.

I have thought about a lot that we can do with the Wailers, and I’m sorry that this relationship went off track. As you know, we have a full team now that is ready and anxious to work with our favorite supporters.

We’ll be sure to reach out to her and follow up.

Much appreciated!

Jen-
Sorry to hear that. With the change in leadership at WFP (UN) our organization WFP-US has had a lot of issues like this in which we (WFP-US/UN) used to collaborate.  Regardless, I have cc'd Shannon at WFP US to make sure we get it all back on track. Glad to hear from you and hope the kids are loving Vermont. Best, Hunter

hi hunter
hope you and your family are doing well.

i emailed you several months ago, i am not sure if you received my email.

i am saddened that our efforts to help raise funds and awareness on behalf of wfp have been dampened.

last year, i reached out to the dc office, the kid's school raised over $600 for the Philippines and the school never received an acknowledgement of the check.  we have moved to vermont and food security is certainly an issue here, so it is very difficult to raise money for international efforts.

additionally, last summer jonathan blume sent me a lengthy email and we also spoke on the phone about the wailers doing a benefit concert on the vineyard, again no follow up after the initial talks.  i gave him the green light on all of this requests.

you know i am deeply committed to wfp's efforts and would do everything in my power to help.

please let me know if we can reignite our work

sincerely
jen
