Angelina Jolie Visits Haiti To Support Aid Relief Effort |

 Sexy mom Angelina Jolie made a personal visit to Haiti this week to meet UN staff and relief workers, following a devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake last month.
Angelina Jolie, who is also a goodwill ambassador for the UN, landed in Port-au-Prince, after her Monday trip to the Dominican Republic where she visited Haitian children taken there for medical treatment.
The Hollywood celebrity then visited the SOS Children's Villages, in Santo, just outside the Haitian capital.
 She later met with Haitians employed in quake debris cleanup, through a joint UN/U.S. Agency for International Development program, before spending the night at a Brazilian military camp outside the city.
Over the past year, Angelina Jolie has been lambasted for being a hypocrite and recent speculation of her splitting with Brad Pitt must have been distressing for her.
Despite all the negative press, I like the fact that Angelina Jolie has not neglected her charitable work. Before her trip to Haiti, the sexy mom has already donated $1million to Haiti's Doctors without Borders.
As goodwill ambassador, she has visited many improverished and war-torn nations like Iraq, Thailand, Pakistan, etc. You don't see many A-list celebrities doing such work, and for that, Angelina Jolie still deserves our respect. Source: |
