9/21/06
Celebrity humanitarians Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have handed out $1
million each in a whopping charity splurge.
The organizations who will receive the amazing hand-out include Global
Action For Children and Doctors Without Borders.
In a statement released on behalf of the couple from their
philanthropic adviser Trevor Neilsen, Jolie says, "I have seen these
brave men and women working in war zones and horrific conditions and I
deeply admire them."
In a separate statement, issued by Jennifer Delaney, the US director
for Global Action For Children, she expressed her gratitude for the
Jolie-Pitt Foundation gift.
Delaney says, "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt not only care, but
more important, they are taking concrete action to address the fact that
there will be 20 million children orphaned by AIDS by 2010, and millions
more orphaned by tuberculosis, malaria and conflict or whose parents are
sick and dying."
