Angelina Jolie Serves Sikh
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has been on a two-day visit to the Indian capital, listening to Sikh children playing religious music at the Khalsa Diwan Welfare Society in New Delhi, an organization run by Afghan refugees of the Sikh faith for other refugees. She chatted with students - some of the 9,500 Afghan refugees under the direct care of the UN refugee agency in India — about their passion for learning English and computer skills.

Angelina also made time to talk with a refugee woman from Myanmar in the one-room home she shares with her three children in New Delhi. The woman, one of the 1,750 refugees from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) under the care of UNHCR in India, told Jolie that they had fled after her husband was arrested by Burma’s military government.

Angelina Jolie for UNHCR
NEW DELHI: Giving papparazi the slip, Hollywood diva Angelina Jolie on Saturday spent some time with Sikh Afghan and Myanmarese refugees in the capital.
Accompanied by her five-year-old son Maddox, Jolie arrived in the capital just past noon and drove to the refugee camps run by the Khalsa Diwan Welfare Society and UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Clad in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, Jolie, the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and her son listened to Sikh children playing religious music at the Welfare Society run by Afghan refugees of the Sikh faith.
She chatted with the students among some 9,500 Afghan Sikh refugees under the direct care of UNHCR and was appreciative of their passion for learning English and computer skills.
The Hollywood star, in India for shooting a film ‘A Mighty Heart’ on the life of slain Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl, also visited a woman refugee from Myanmar in her one-room home where she lives with her three children.
The woman, one of the 1,750 refugees from Myanmar, told Jolie that they fled after her husband was arrested by the military government in Myanmar, a press statement issued by UNHCR said.
“I am grateful to the refugee families who spent time with me today and shared their stories. They are remarkable, courageous people, it quoted Jolie as saying.
Jolie, on a two-day visit here, will be meeting Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma on Sunday.
Jolie will be accompanied by UN officials at the meeting with Sharma and the discussions are expected to centre around issues relating to refugees and children.

Vanessa Valley Stream Chick - if u are that upset about her feet, then visit another thead… seriously we get it, u are not pleased about her feet, what else do want from us…. okay i’ll agree with u….do u feel better now….
Vanessa Valley Stream Chick,
Are you the “infidelity police”?
It’s been two years. The divorce wasn’t your’s. You don’t know the intimate details of the past relationship between Pitt and Aniston to know what arrangements were made. You are making assumptions based on what you choose to believe stemming from your own bias. You need to let it go, it’s been far to long. I doubt anyone on this board wants to discuss the divorce with you.
Laura Dern. Didn’t she break up Billy Bob’s marriage to his first wife when she had two of his kids? And didn’t she break up Ben Harper when he was married to another woman, while that woman was pregnant and then got pregnant herself and took him a way to marry him?
from laineygossip.com
A ten person police escort out of LAX?
- Jen’s arrival yesterday wasn’t exactly quiet, it wasn’t exactly unattended, but it was definitely absolute chaos.
Pappies amazingly alerted in advance to her arrival, a personal swat team alerted in advance for protection. And I’m not the only one curious about the overkill.
TMZ also asked the question – why not use the back exit?
Furthermore as Laura W pointed out in her email to me yesterday – if security is such a concern, why not take a private plane from any number of private and less publicly accessible airfields in and around the Los Angeles area?
Answer: Because if that were the case, no one would have seen her.
Don’t tell me someone like Jennifer Aniston doesn’t have the cash or the clout to make private travel arrangements. Hell, if Howie Mandel can score a private ride out of Heathrow within a few hours during the terrorist threat, Jennifer Aniston can CERTAINLY score a private ride out of London if she really wanted to, and something tells me that would take minutes.
But then again – Brad Pitt is up for an Oscar nomination, the beautiful Angelina and her beautiful children are making waves in India, Reese Witherspoon is the new Pity Poster Girl, and even Nicole Kidman just landed a People Magazine cover.
Do you smell jealousy? Or is Humble Jen really just trying to “live her life”?
Please.
Always a fraud, still a fraud.
Jennifer Aniston: the Queen of all Frauds, definitely NOT the girl next door unless you live in a $7 million mansion with another $10 million in upgrades, there is no friggin’ way Miss Pity is gonna get Friend-ly with you.
jenatfault - please, why are u posting this sh*t… this thread is about Angie’s UN work… enough already….
BABEL, OSCARS, BRAD, OSCARS!!!!!
QQQQ
I know. I’m not into feet. I think everyone has ugly feet so I really don’t care.
I think some people have decided that if a person might have committed infidelity then they are to be ridicule and considered hideously ugly. Such silliness it’s amazing. They are like forcing Angelina to wear some Scarlett letter and think everyone should be trying to burn Jolie/Pitt at the stake.
Not everyone agrees with you. They didn’t cheat. There’s no proof. You are confusing the affair that happened to you with these celebrities. Deal with your own issues and let it go. It’s been 2 years, Jennifer let go, why don’t you let it go.
For the 10,000th time, neither Billy Bob nor Brad Pitt were technically married when Jolie came into the picture. Brad’s divorce was granted by the judge in August 2005, he was technically single. There are never a “homewrecking” except within you haters’ heads, created out of tabloid rumours. No man gets “stolen” when his relationship is solid with his partner. Laura Dern was smart enough but Aniston was dumb enough to paint herself a Pity Party hostess, which is coming back at her BIG time now.
Oh and don’t be jealous of people who can just hop on a private jet for a few hours, be back before your child’s nap is over. Just imagine you are going out to your nearby shopping mall for a few hours leaving your kids with a sitter. That’s about what Jolie is doing, except she goes to a refugee camp.
Oh and by the way, how Madonna would love to be in Jolie’s shoes.
Im sick of angie being blamed unfairly for things that arent true… it obviously is just jealousy because there are things that others do that are far worse in my opinion than what angie is accused of. Laura Dern?? OH PLEASE>>>>>>…. SHE BROKE UP BBT MARRIAGE TO GET WITH HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
THEN, later she had an affair(again) with ANOTHER MAN, got pregnant BEFORE he was divorced. (And she probably has ugly feet too. OH MY!)
Angie is a lot of things but dishonest, she is not. she is an open book, she admits her faults. She said she didnt have an affair with Brad. I believe her. Brad said Angie was not the cause of the divorce, I believe him. There is no proof of infidelity and frankly WHO CARES NOW? GET OVER IT YOU SICK PUPPIES.
GO POLISH YOUR TOES
Valley Girl
They will be in New Orleans working on rebuilding homes there. If you like, maybe they can come to your nearest “local ghetto”. You really are a basket case. Goodnight.
Its amazing how Angie can adopt easily to various culture. In some courtries such as Japan, Korea and Taiwan, its impolite and consider untidy dragging your street shoe inside the house. you either change to slipper offer by the host or go barefoot. why can’t some american respect culture of other countries?
Vanessa Valley Stream Chick - if u are soooo concerned about the ghetto why don’t u go there and help… its their choice NOT yours, to help where ever they want to…. u are really a piece of work…
Why would someone like X get a 10 person police escort? Is she the target of some threat or something? I think it is quite pathetic to seek attention that way. With that many people surrounding you while you walk around, no wonder people would look at you. She either needed the attention because noone knew who she was in England or she just wanted attention. But then when people who haven’t made a deal with her take her picture, she hides her face. What a joke? I hope she starts to fade into the sunset like her looks. Oh, I forgot. What looks? There isn’t any in the first place to fade away!!! Go do some work that means something rather than going on Oprah to confirm the nonbreakup of an unconfirmed relationship!!!
Oh Vanessa, so we shot down all your accusations, now you are still worrying the issue of “why don’t they help here?”
Well, what do you think Brad is doing in New Orleans? Global Green. Filing his next movie there and creating alot of jobs. He IS doing that, and Angie is helping, too. Also, Angie was doing humanitarian work long before she got involved with Brad.
Angie was first moved to help people in Cambodia. She calls herself a citizen of the world, and she wants to help people in the worst situations. People in many foreign countries are situations far worse than in the US. The US has plenty of aid programs in place. Other countries do not. If you feel so strrongly about it, do some volunteer work yourself.
Lastly, about Shiloh. You need to get off that, because you have no idea how much she hold her. A few public snapshots in an airport or on a street say nothing about what they do at home.
, i just contemplated that its weird to walking around with 2 of your kids most of the time, cooing them and what not when you have a 3rd one born of chaotic exposure and publicity
_____________________________________________
Ok this is the biggest crock of crap ive read in a while. this is a good reason we should ignore this loon because if she really believes this, she is too far gone to reason with.
Valley,
And you seem to have been in the same room when BBT and Brad were “stolen”. Please, wake up from your tabloid fantasies.
You are such a passive aggressive *****.
You weren’t in Laura Dern’s bedroom, but you are in Brad and Angies? Please. Don’t start **** and then because you are too weak to back it up try and play innocent.
Get a life. None of us were in any of their bedrooms. We are over it. You just ranted for an entire paragraph about a divorce that wasn’t your’s. You are the biggest psycho on here. Disappear. Find a man. Get a life. Do something, just let it go and stop bringing the **** up again if as you say
“im sorry if i wasnt in their bedroom or their house for that matter but i didnt know some of you were…”
Stop acting like you were then. No more paragraph rants about an affair you think happnened then. Let it go.
Vanessa Valley Stream Chick - F*ck OFF!!!!!
For Vanessa’s pleasure:
Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie accepts Global Humanitarian Award
NEW YORK, Oct 13, (UNHCR) – UN refugee agency Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has been honored with the 2005 Global Humanitarian Action Award for her work with UNHCR and with refugees.
Ms. Jolie accepted the award from the United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA) and the Business Council for the United Nations at a dinner in New York attended by 700 diplomats, political and business leaders and other dignitaries on Tuesday evening.
Ms. Jolie, who has travelled extensively to more than 20 countries including Pakistan, Kosovo, Sudan and Chad to talk personally to refugees, said they deserved “every bit of our efforts.”
“They have seen so much, they’ve felt so much pain – lost more than anyone could bear and yet they contain joy of life and appreciation for small things we often forget,” she said.
The UNA-USA applauded Ms. Jolie for fulfilling her work as a Goodwill Ambassador with vigour and valuable insight, adding that she served as a leading voice for millions of refugees and internally displaced persons around the world. In addition to her fieldwork, Ms. Jolie has become a highly regarded activist for refugee rights, arguing for their protection before senior political and economic leaders of the world.
The President of UNA-USA William Luers described her as standing apart from other celebrities involved in humanitarian work. “She has gone to the refugee camps. She has sat with heads of state. She has personally and publicly engaged in ways to better manage the problems surrounding this noble cause,” he said.
The Academy Award-winning actress, who has worked with UNHCR as a Goodwill Ambassador since 2001, used her acceptance speech to draw attention to the plight of refugees and the work of the UN refugee agency. She said that apart from her children, spending time with refugees was “the greatest gift – the greatest life lesson I could ever receive.”
She also paid special tribute to all those working with refugees. “In any UNHCR office, in any one of the many areas around the world, you will find an amazing mix of hard-working and often very tired people. What is beautiful to me is that the men and women are always a mix of nationalities who have come together with the common goal – to help others. That is the UN at its best.”
In his congratulatory message, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, pointed out that Ms Jolie had given an entirely new meaning to the words “global humanitarian action.”
“The depth of your dedication and commitment inspires many others, especially the legions of young people who admire you, to think about how they too can help to make the world a better place,” he added.
Other tributes were sent from the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and America’s First Lady, Laura Bush.

Vanessa Valley Stream Chick Says:
SHE IS HUMAN! SHE IS A PERSON,
Oh thanks for pointing that out because otherwise we wouldn’t know that.
Seriously,It’s the haters that make her out to be something else, calling her names, insinuating that she somehow put some voodoo on Brad and made him her slave to take care of her kids. And we all know what else is said about her but I won’t repeat it.

and she didnt DO anything.. remember, you werent in her bedroom.

You are not trying to have a “constructive debate”. There is no debate. How can you debate something you aren’t privy too? None of us were part of the divorce. We all played along and talked about this **** 2 years ago. It’s dead and you are crazy if you haven’t let it go because you are way too personally involved and that isn’t indicative of a healthy psyche. You’re so crazy you just don’t realize it.
Hey if you don’t like them okay I get it. We do. We’re fans. Nothing wrong with being a fan, just like there’s nothing wrong with disliking them, but stop trying to bait people into arguing with you because you “hate infidelity” and seek the need to point it out even where it might not exist. Get over it. Get a life. Get a man. Move on. Be fan of someone else and visit their site or go and debate this craziness with people of a like mind. You aren’t going to find that here.
how she got so big vein on her arm?? she so skinny and looks more old than her age,, and she needs more take care about her own healty n beauty
