Brad
Pitt Trip Prompts Angelina Jolie to Return to Africa
5/30/05
Movie
beauty Angelina Jolie has returned to Kenya for a United Nations
poverty-eradication project - after her romantic holiday in the east
African country with actor Brad Pitt alerted her to the region's
suffering.
The
Mr and Mrs Smoth co-stars enjoyed a relaxing break in Kenya last month
(APR05) fuelling speculation they are secretly dating each other. And the
29-year-old actress and UN ambassador was so moved by the famine and
disease faced by local residents, she has traveled to a Sauri village with
her adopted son Maddox and Jeffrey Sachs, a special advisor to the UN
secretary general, on the eradication of global poverty.
Jolie
has allowed a television crew to film her during the trip, in a bid to
raise awareness of Sach's Millennium Villages Project, which aims to help
impoverished African villages by providing electricity, medical care and
access to markets. |
