brad pitt, angelina jolie

Over the past several days, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have definitely been in a giving mood. Last weekend, the pair donated $1 million dollars St. John’s Hospital to help to establish an endowment fund for children’s care specialists, as well as construct a new pediatric unit. Now, as Cele|bitchy tells us, another $1 million is going to aid refugees in Pakistan. From the article,

“Saturday is World Refugee Day and it seems that the Jolie-Pitts are doing their best to bring awareness to the plight of displaced people around the world. Angelina recently released a short PSA for the UNHCR, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, for which she has worked for eight years. It was a very moving 30 second spot in which Jolie told us to remember refugees while scenes of war and people in peril were shown in the background.”

Jolie will be appearing tonight on CNN in an interview with Anderson Cooper to discuss World Refugee Day. To help support her cause, please visit the UN Refugee Agency to make a donation.

    They are such an amazing couple. More people need to work for similar causes and adopt children.

    Stephanie, Many people do that don’t have the visability of these two. And since you’re asking others to step up, I’m sure you are one of them.
