OlderAngelina Jolie Donates $100,000 on World Refugee Day 2012
Angelina Jolie marked World Refugee Day 2012 (June 20) with a new donation of $100,000 for the U.N.’s work in helping Syrian refugees.
“Unfortunately, the world is producing displaced people faster than it is producing solutions to displacement. And the solutions are not exclusively humanitarian – they are also political,” the 37-year-old actress said in a statement.
“The international community should rededicate itself to preventing conflict, addressing it when it erupts, and solving it more quickly,” she added, “for that is the only way to create durable solutions for the refugees whose strength inspires us on this World Refugee Day.”

Message from UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie on World Refugee Day 2012
UNHCR believes even 1 person forced to flee is too many. And it’s true. Every individual refugee matters. Each has their own story. Each has suffered and survived more than I could ever bear. And yet, they rise up to live another day.
We risk forgetting the individual when we speak in numbers, but the numbers tell an important story. In the past year 4.3 million people have become displaced. There are still 2.7 million refugees from Afghanistan. 12 million people are stateless. And for the fifth consecutive year the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide exceeded 42 million.
Sadly, a person who becomes a refugee is likely to remain one for many years – often stuck in a camp or living precariously in the city of a developing nation. 70 per cent of refugees under UNHCR’s protection have been in this situation for more than five years. Their safety and well-being depend on the continued generosity of those countries who have kept their borders open to refugees, and on the vital efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance wherever and whenever it is necessary.
Unfortunately, the world is producing displaced people faster than it is producing solutions to displacement. And the solutions are not exclusively humanitarian – they are also political. The international community should rededicate itself to preventing conflict, addressing it when it erupts, and solving it more quickly, for that is the only way to create durable solutions for the refugees whose strength inspires us on this World Refugee Day.

That’s why I said she love them because wears them a lot. It must be a heckuva lot cooler in London than it is in the US because 50 yeards of material on a day like today could cause you to go belly up from heat stroke. I don’t see how something that oversized could possibly be comfortable. Especiallly when you’re having to hold it up all the time or fling half of the excess material over your arm…
O.T.
jared,enuf with vanessa hudgens and suri cruise.what are they promoting??
@Not Pitt: she’s happy as long as brad is not around. She wears coverups like that as a way to hiiiide herself from gawkers aka pitt fans. Other than that she looks extremely happy. I am a fan of whoever she’s meeting. Anyone who can put a genuine smile like that on her face? I like. Is it a costar?

@Passing Through:
But people in mideast wear those clothe all the time during hot weather. i think it must be not too bad.
@No photos please: how did you know she is ot wearing it? The photos are not clear wtf do you have super power eyes
@Passing Through: Good morning PT. You have to remember Angie is just not that into fashion. This is just who she is, no fuss no muss. Hopefully she is hiding another Jolie Pitt under that dress. This would be a good time to get pregnant. She will be wearing those costume for months, then when she is done, out pop a baby. I just want to be funny and drive trolls cray cray, lol.
@No photos please:
I’m sorry but this movie sucks
Those horns on his head surrounded by cows!!
Not be who is the man, but is ugly as the devil
See you later
Greetings Neleh, the devil has returned
@new pics: They had a busy weekend go karting, movies and dinner.I’m glad that most of their time in UK has been pap free.
I meant middle east.
LOL, you fellow Jen menopasual crones are soooo bizarre. I guess the fact that the bald serial killer looking midget wannabe nobody is the best chin maniston can do at her ripe old age of 50, makes you so insane, that whenever beautiful Angie makes news about anything fantabulous you just lose your mad cow shitt. It’s so funny.
@new pics: @new pics:

Thank you! She looks beautiful and happy. It’s good to see new pics:))
I think that guy is a new bodyguard. I saw him with Brad and Angie in the pictures of Brad and Angie visiting National Portrait Gallery.
Those MAMS pics………well, let me say…….Brad’s eyes looked literally ‘filmy’ with love and lust.’ I have never seen photos of them with such nekkid feelings in his eyes. It must have been hell when he went home during the pause in filming and ole Chinny Chin Chin would have been all over him and he would have so wanted to be alone to digest what was happening. No damn wonder he had to tell her he was attracted to Angie; she was likely wanting to jump his bones and he just couldn’t do it…..morally or physically. He was already gone on all levels that count. Totally besotted.
MAMS on Film 4 at 9 o’clock tonight .
lolz!!! put that dress to Maniston….hehehehe! i know P.T. will like it!!!!lol!i mean like in different view.hehehe
@Jolie without RING:
Stop being stupid. LOL
dawne- it’s true- Brad DOES look head over heels for Angie- I recall a similar (but not of course close up) look on his face at the TT NYC red carpet- he looked liked the cat that ate the canary- lo & behold, other pictures in the set showed that he had his hand on Angie’s b*tt- like GRABBING a piece of it- so funny- so in love after so many years!

A little more on the Zahara Center:
In 2011 GHC broke ground on the Zahara Center in Sebeta on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The Center will use the integrated Maddox model; the HIV counseling manual for children and expertise learned at the ground level in Cambodia, to address the needs of HIV infected and affected children in Ethiopia. Given the crushing burden of TB in Ethiopia, the Center will also have a major focus on children infected with TB and will serve as a Center of Excellence for MDR care for children. The Zahara Center is being built using local sustainable methods designed by GRAFT architects with oversight from Brad Pitt.

No need to respond to trolls. She is the same poster who has been here posting at any JP threads 24/7. All we have to do is IGNORE. It is here to annoy fans. No just responses will do any good. Thumb it down then flag it. Jared will clean the thread in no time.
@P: Ignore delusional trolls like they have ignored facts for more than 7 years.
