Thank you all very much for your comments.  Initial fundraising results following airing of the piece thru this morning indicates that we generated $329,418, including 225 new monthly donors.  We previously shared the link to the piece with the Hill (appropriators, foreign affairs/relations committees, Hunger Caucus and other supporters), corporate partners, donors and others.  We have been getting very positive feedback as of minutes of the show concluding.  We will follow-up with more information in the days ahead.

Also, I have attached our Statement issued last week following release of the FY18 budget blueprint provided last week with the update on the budget).  As noted, it provides an overview of the current status of global hunger and the critical role of US leadership.  You are encouraged to distribute the Statement widely.

Thanks again for your commitment to helping those highlighted in the segment last night.
All the best,
Rick

> WFP will be featured on 60 Minutes this Sunday, March 19th at 7:00 p.m ET in a piece about the famine in South Sudan. WFP USA’s Communications Team has been in lockstep with WFP about this episode, and all teams at WFP USA are prepared to manage the influx of donations, media follow-up, Hill conversations and other opportunities we expect the airing will yield.
