Angelina Jolie: UNHCR Ceremony & Tribute!

Angelina Jolie attends a UNHCR ceremony honoring Yemeni humanitarian aid group Society for Humanitarian Solidarity on Monday (October 3) in Geneva, Switzerland.

The 36-year-old actress was also recognized for her 10 years as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.

“I’m so grateful to the many refugee families that I have had the honor and privilege to spend the last years with. From them I’ve learned so much. I’ve learned to become a better person, a better mother,” Angelina said. “They’ve inspired me by showing me every day the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.”

Angie also called for help for refugees fleeing war-torn Somalia.

“We must not forget what is happening in this part of the world. We must not forget how desperate they are when the only alternative is to risk death at sea and put their lives in the hands of ruthless smugglers,” she told the crowd.

FYI: Angelina is wearing a white double face crepe 3/4 sleeve sheath from the Michael Kors Spring 2011 collection.
