Kelly Moore Accepts Invitation To Speak At Summit

Humanitarian, founder and CEO of Music For Mankind® Kelly Moore will be speaking on behalf of his organization at the United Nation’s Friends of the World Food Program’s Second Annual Summit on Global Hunger in Washington D.C. on October 5th.

"Kelly’s unique perspective is a welcome addition to our lineup of speakers,” said Margot Hoerrner, Vice President for Outreach, Friends of the World Food Program. “His dedication and compassion to fighting hunger worldwide and his trips to observe food assistance operations in the field make him an ideal partner in educating and inspiring our volunteers."

Kelly Moore was excited and honored to have received the invitation. "It's not only an incredible honor to be invited to speak at this prestigious event, but also a great opportunity to continue helping and spreading the word, and inspiring others to do what they can to help."

Moore recently released a 30-minute documentary titled “Nicaragua --On The Ground” which documents his 2008 trip to Nicaragua with the members of the Friends of the World Food Program as a U.N. Delegate for the World Food Programme. His experiences in the areas hardest hit by hunger and malnutrition prompted him to share his experiences with others.

Moore states:"People are just getting to know about Music For Mankind® and my efforts to help through my concerts, lectures and now the new documentary, "Nicaragua - On The Ground". These two special events give me an incredible opportunity to inspire more people to help, and Music For Mankind® is such a positive way to bring people together in this effort."
