Brad & Angelina Donate $1 Million to Aid Refugees

Brad & Angelina Donate $1 Million to Aid Refugees

In support of Angelina Jolie‘s eight-year relationship with the UN Refugee Agency, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation has given $1 million to help displaced people in Pakistan.

According to People, the head of the agency, António Guterres, thanked the foundation for its assistance.

Earlier this week, Angie and partner Brad Pitt donated $1 million to St. John’s Children’s Hospital for the creation of the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center (named after Brad‘s mother) in his hometown of Springfield, MO.

On Thursday, Angie will appear on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 and join Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to talk about World Refugee Day in Washington D.C. Angie will also appear on Friday’s Today Show.

One reasons why these refugees are getting all the help they can get, Brad & Angie donated their money, time & effort. They are the good role models for young & old. May God continue to bless the refugees & God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
Guli, make sure to let us know that you are fine once you are up & able to blog. Take care of yourself. Don’t worry about us, we are still going to be here once you come back from surgery. Remember to take it easy after surgery. Goodnight to all. God bless.

There’s an old saying: : Donate with your right hand but keep your left hand covered.

It’s so nice that the JoliePitts have to have the amount of money they donate publicized……how crass. How often do you seen the likes of the following celebs show how much they donate:

Tom Hanks
Charlize Theron
Susan Sarandon
Nicole Kidman
Steven Spielberg
Jennifer Aniston
Vince Vaughn
Reese Witherspoon
Halle Berry
and on and on and on and on.

Only 1 million dollars? Way to spare it. I agree with @set: Old news.

This is great news. Brad and Angie are truly amazing and so generous, not only with their wallets but with their time as well. That money will be a great help to the refugees in Pakistan.

I am so proud of them and so proud to be a fan of theirs.

Thanks Jared for the new thread

I love how people are judging how much he spent on a picture. The fact is he and Angelina give millions of their money away every year to so many different causes. I think that’s fantastic but I know people will talk bad about them no matter what they do. It’s a shame because they have big hearts.

#16 is having a meltdown. her trying hard wannabe idol didn’t have a thread today. better tell Jared that she just admitted she’s a lesbian and that she wants Jolie to be her girlfriend so she can have a thread already and you can sing your stupid praises there.

“Having just finished a four-month shoot for the thriller Salt, Jolie will be a stay-at-home mom as her family moves to Los Angeles while Pitt films Moneyball”

This family stays together and gives together. Luv them.
