Angelina Jolie @ GAC Launch — Part II

Here is your exclusive access to Board Member of Cambodian Health Committee and UN Goodwill Ambassador for High Commissioner for Refugees Angelina Jolie before the launch of “Global Action for Children” (GAC) on Thursday in Washington, DC. (See Part I here.)

“This is a happy day because it’s not often enough children are represented in this town,” Jolie said. “Their education and well being is an investment in our future.”

When asked about becoming more political or running for elective office, Jolie smiled and said, “I surely don’t think anybody here wants that. [My focus remains] in the field.”

“I feel very fortunate to have orphan children in my home,” added Jolie, who has three adopted children with partner Brad Pitt.

Her face looks the same as it did when she was pregnant. how could she be too skinny? I think some just want to keep us thinking that she’s too skinny because that’s what the tabloids are trying to tell us. Too bad she doesn’t look starved to me.

Time will tell. These pixs remind me of her visit to DC in November 2005, which was when I noticed that she had a little tummy in a pix where she was turned sideways. I paid little attention to it. As we all know now, little Ms. Shiloh was on her way. LOL. By the way some have commented that Angelina has hair extensions, no, she does not need those like some do, it’s all Angelina’s hair. Her hair was long like it is now when she was younger.

Angelina is so earnest and passionately dedicated to those issues she holds dear. The videos are great, and llustrate her grasp and knowledge of issues.

Great day for Angelina-even BillO supports her.

Angie looks very happy and peaceful. So glad she and Brad can’t care less about her stupid critics. She lives her life to the fullest and her critics are just wasting their lives away. And did I mention how beautiful she is… effortless. No Zone, Smart(dumb)water, yoga needed here. I guess when you have Brad Pitt to look at (and TOUCH) every now and then, who needs Smart Water? LOL!

Angelina Jolie Calls for More Funding for Orphans
THURSDAY APRIL 26, 2007 05:15 PM EDT

Jolie on April 26

Angelina Jolie has adopted three children from different countries, and now she’s taken her advocacy global.

The actress, 31, appeared at a press conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to announce the launch of Global Action for Children, a group that raises money for orphans in developing countries.

“I am here to simply ask you to think about orphaned children not as a burden but as a great opportunity,” Jolie said at the event. “Their education is an investment in our future. … They have had to work very, very hard to survive, but when they are given a chance, they grow strong, stronger than most. … The Lost Boys of Sudan are a great example.”

(Jolie and Brad Pitt recently donated $100,000 to a clinic in the Sudan founded by a former Lost Boy, and Pitt executive produced a documentary about the boys, God Grew Tired of Us.)

GAC, which aims to increase U.S. funding for orphans in developing countries by $2.5 billion per year, is notable because it’s non-partisan: One of the organization’s key proponents is former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie.

Earlier on Thursday, Jolie and GAC executive director Jennifer Delaney met with top leaders at the State Department, including Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Dina Powell and Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Karen Hughes.

“It went very well,” Delaney tells PEOPLE. “We talked about how there is such a growing need to help children around the world. We talked a great deal about universal education and orphans and vulnerable children, so I do think there’s some receptiveness there to this issue.”

Jolie and Pitt are staunch advocates for humanitarian causes, and have spoken out on issues including the genocide in Darfur and rebuilding efforts in New Orleans. Last year, they donated $1 million to GAC.

Thank you for that extended video. She is truly beautiful inside and out. You know she had to fly in from HW. She probably flew late at night so that she could spend time with the kids, and take care of Brad if he didn’t fly with her. Therefore she is probably tired and a little sleepy. Even with that scenario she looks gorgeous.

Wow!! Thanks for adding the video, this woman is gorgeous but the pics are nothing compared to the video. Hardly any makeup, I bet most actresses the world over are jealous of her natural beauty.

Pixs of press conference and some labelled as Angelina on her way to airport after press conference. So it appears she flew in from LA and then flew right back to LA after the press conference. Shades of her Canada trips to DC for meetings, fly in, attend meetings and events in DC, and then fly right back home whereever Brad and the kids are. Brad and Angelina’s advisor Trevor Neilson (sp?) is with her in some of the pixs. I imagine he is well paid. I think he used to work for Bill Gates and is based in DC.

look closer…..y’all..
Her arms and hands on the table are so skinny and her face tho flawless is too thin. I think she has become anorexic…

She looks tired? LOL! I have never seen a more untired and alert person. Thanks for the links. Kimber, the ownder of that Live Journal, is a Angie fan for sure.

What the hell is this. Who’s the fat guy with the Donald Trump comb-over and the ugly pink tie??? Angie seems to have the hots for him. This is SOOOO pissing me off!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^
She’s way too thin. I don’t buy the stress of having 4 kids theory, something’s up.

I agree something is up. My theory is she is having so much sex with Brad ( you know the guy you want to sleep with yourself) that she can’t keep the weight on.

Or you know, she could just be skinny and you could just be a trouble maker.

Take your pick.
