OlderAngelina Jolie @ Global Action for Children
Angelina Jolie announces the establishment of Global Action for Children (GAC)’s new headquarters in Washington, DC at a news conference held at the National Press Club on Thursday.
Angelina said, “The numbers associated with this problem are staggering. It is overwhelming and the scale of the problem seems to give many an excuse for inaction. In many ways it is better to think of these children one by one — each deserving of our care and attention, each being of equal value, and each being a test of whether justice — or injustice — will prevail.
“I am here to simply ask you to think about orphaned children not as a burden but as a great opportunity. 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.”
The GAC is a nonpartisan advocacy organization focused on on increasing funding by $2.5 billion per year by the U.S. government for programs that support orphans and vulnerable children.

You are quick..
Angelina is doing a beautiful thing and she looks beautiful doing it..
Yeah, her eyes are rather too bright. She is defintiely on something, she needs to eat too. She looks gaunt and malnousrished. Just because she is trying to help the needy does not mean that hse has to look like them.
Angelina Jolie Launches Global Action for Children, an Advocacy Organization Dedicated to Orphans’ and Children’s Issues
WASHINGTON, April 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Angelina Jolie appeared at a press conference today to announce the formal launch of Global Action for Children (GAC). GAC is a nonpartisan advocacy organization focused on increasing funding by $2.5 billion per year by the US government for programs that support orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and provide free primary school education in developing countries.
GAC was formed in 2003 as a campaign organized by faith-based, nongovernmental and student organizations dedicated to OVC and the communities that care for them. GAC’s unique strength lies in the diversity of its partners and allies and its ability to mobilize a broad range of constituencies to advocate for children. Today’s announcement by Ms. Jolie marks the establishment of GAC’s new headquarters in Washington, DC, and formalization of the organization and staffing.
The press conference followed meetings between Ms. Jolie and GAC Executive Director Jennifer Delaney and senior officials at the U.S. Department of State to discuss policies and funding that will support OVC programs and access to education.
Ms. Jolie said, “The numbers associated with this problem are staggering. It is overwhelming and the scale of the problem seems to give many an excuse for inaction. In many ways it is better to think of these children one by one — each deserving of our care and attention, each being of equal value, and each being a test of whether justice — or injustice — will prevail.”
Speakers joining Ms. Jolie and Ms. Delaney at the press conference included Rev. Mpho Tutu, Chairperson of the Global AIDS Alliance Board, and director of the Tutu Institute; Gene Sperling, Director of the Center on Universal Education at the Council on Foreign Relations; Kay Warren, Executive Director of Saddleback Church’s HIV/AIDS Initiative, and wife of Pastor Rick Warren.
Jennifer Delaney, Executive Director of GAC added, “Angelina Jolie is a global leader on children issues. We are thrilled to have her as the honorary chairperson of the GAC Board. Her support of GAC helps us to ensure that orphans and vulnerable children in developing countries and the communities that care for them get the support they need.”
She looks upset like she was crying or something. Too bad for people who hate her she looks gorgeous anyway. GAC is a great idea.
OMG, she doesn’t look healthy at all…
Thank you Jared,you are really quick.Angie looks stunning as always and is really great how she stays so focus to her work.She is an angel.
She did some work on her nose and her cheeks, and whats with the bugs under her eyes? I hope she is not on drugs again.
Finally, one silver lining amidst my boredom! Way to go Jared! Just love, love, love anything to do with the Jolie-Pitts!.Hey, any way (call me insane!) you can find out if they’re looking for a nanny? I will quit my almost amazing job for them!!!
Angelina looks professional with that outfit, and look at the purse, the heel, i remember when Team Lara Croft posted about GG, she said gourges, this is how to attend an award, now i am saying this is how to attend an launched
I do not really think she is happy or healthy. I don’t care any way. I think she is searching for something that is elusive and she is not going to get it snatching other people’s husbands. Now no one really respects her charity work. Of course apart from obsessed people on this site.
I think the glossy eyes are probably from being tired. You know since she has a gang of 4 children and all.
Angie you are amazing. You’ve got it all. Beauty, intelligence, talent, good heart and Brad Pitt!
omg , seriously.. New thread new losers come.
must suck to only think mean thoughts about people all the time.
I don’t like her but at least she is doing something. Only that I do not thing any one cares any more about her good deeds. I hope she redeems her self in the coming months because there is something about her these days that I cannot put my finger to. She just looks cold and calculation. She also looks unhealthy and when you compare her to her pre-Brad days, she is now a shadow of herself.
No wonder she is named one of the top communicator’s of our time! Very intelligent woman. Thanks JJ for bringing these photo’s and info so fast.
If she doesn’t eat soon she’ll be getting red cross parcels herself. Jesus, I wish this bimbo (and her himbo boyfriend) would leave this kind of thing to the professionals and stick to playing dress up for a living. It’s pathetic and it would be much kinder of her to use her easily come by money to help quietly rather than use other people’s suffering to get into the mags- poverty to her is like a new handbag. Yuck..
I may not agree with some of her personal choices etc., but I do commend her on her humanitarian efforts and any other person who highlights the needs of others around the world.
If nothing else, the spotlight that her relationship with Pitt brings to the plight of others is good.
I wondered what the fuss was about re posting first, is all - it was a coincidence that I was at the site at the time.
By they way, it is the nature of this board that gets people riled up. Other boards with similar topics are not as caustic!
Glossy eyes from being tired? That is new, tired eyes are dull. But now that you mention it, her eyes look too bright, I am suspicious. Ols habits die hard. May be all the pressure is getting to her.
Some of the posters here like Sandra/julia are high as a kite..lmao. It amazes me what jelousy of another human being brings out. Jealousy that is why this losers continure to post crap… Anyway Angelina looks stunning, a extremley beautiful woman.
Notice how the trolls and haters are here in 2 seconds flat when new pictures are posted!What a very sad life some of you must lead to spend yours days lurking and waiting for pictures of a woman that you claim to hate just so you can spill your vile and lies!You guys are the ones obsessed,most people tend to avoid what they don’t like.NOT SEEK IT OUT!Angelina looks beautiful as always.God her hair is getting long.Thanks Jared for the new pictures!
Those veins are freaking me out; she is way too skinny.
sad I think you are confused.. I am a fan of Angie, not sure what you are talking about…
Brit, I don’t think the spotlight as a result of her affair with Pitt brings anything good, if anything it detracts all attention from her work and people concetrate on calling her names instead of realising there is a problem. May be the only good is that now she can adopt as many kids for whichever reason, at least they don’t go hungry.
I really, really like Angelina and has always been since Hackers.
God Bless the Jolie-Pitts.
You are a truly blessed woman Angie. May God continue to light your path!
Thanks for your concern and love for the orphans of the world.
Look how long her hair are.I like them that way.

beautiful woman - inside and outside. she is luminous, even with minimal make up. but, more important, she is doing so much good. an example to follow.
She obviously doesn’t care what you or any other person thinks they know about her. Despite what people say about her or her looks she still goes out there and fights for her causes. She’s not gonna stop just because You don’t like it.
LMAO @ all of you criticizing her looks. Angelina on her worst day looks better than all of you on your best.
Her eyes are toooooooooooooooooo bright.
Please stop with the negative comments or I will start banning people.
haters get a life. some of you are really have the potentials of lunatics.angie we commend you for all the good deeds you are doing to make the world a better place.jj thank you.those saying thing about her looks sholud go kill you selves cause you are talking about the most beautiful woman in the world inside out.may be some of you haters are over weight ugly dumped manistons.you are always ready to strike when there is a new thread,your boring ways are all well known.you haters will die because you will see angie rising up there whilst you will always exprience downfalls in life. I pity your bitter souls.LONG LIVE THE JOLIE PITTS

The people who concentrate on callin her names instead of realizing the problem are tabloid readers. Damn heffas don’t care about anything other than gossip and themselves anyway.
OMG, it starting again…….

Wonderful woman!!!! All love for her family !!!!

THANK YOU JJ, you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jolie and Pitt also gave 1 million dollars to Medecins Sans Frontières - Doctors Without Borders.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Donate $1 Million to Global Action for Children
The Associated Press
Wednesday, September 20, 2006; 5:06 PM
WASHINGTON—Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are giving gifts of $1 million each to two humanitarian organizations, an adviser to the couple said Wednesday.
The recipients are Global Action for Children and Medecins sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders.
“In the most troubled parts of the world _ places that much of the world has abandoned _ MSF is always there,” said Jolie in a statement issued by Trevor Neilson, the couple’s philanthropic and political adviser. “I have seen these brave men and women working in war zones and horrific conditions and I deeply admire them.”
Jolie, who co-starred with Pitt in the 2005 film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commission for Refugees.
Jennifer Delaney, U.S. director for Global Action for Children, expressed her thanks for the gift from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
“Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt not only care, but more important, 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,” she said.
Delaney said the vast majority of these children are in the care of extended families and communities that need support to overcome the ravages of HIV/AIDS and poverty.
At least she doesn’t look like this.

Karma is right.
She looks really pretty and natural. Barely any make up on. But I think it’s time for her to rest and just be. She’s wearing herself out trying to be everything to everyone. It’s really hard being wife, mother, actress, activist, & philanthropist. I do think she is trying to distract herself from the grief of the loss of her mother and doing too many things at once. Almost like she herself is running out of time.
Love her!!!…She is intelligent and beatiful…Thanks JJ

I’m an Angie fan. But I do agree, she has lost a ton of weight since her pregnancy, and she doesn’t look healthy. I am worried about her health. Its sad that before BP, she always looked healthy and happy. Now she looks superskinny and unhealthy.

I wonder what she can do to fix that hairline, there must be some cosmetic surgery to fix that nastiness.
Is there a hair club for women?

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUU¡¡¡¡YOU AREN´T ANGIE FAN
Gorgeous, as usual
Thanks Just Jared for the new thread. Haters always come out and vent, nothing new. They sit at Just Jared just waiting on news of the Jolie-Pitts. AJ is doing good work. Her personal life and career are doing just fine. She is a beautiful woman with a good and caring heart. It is good to see someone giving of their time and help to aid a worthy cause. All some people can do is gripe, whine and be bitter. Life is for the living, enjoying and helping others. So much better than sitting on a blog and spewing hate. Best wishes to BAMPZS. Peace to all.
i am so happy for the donation. the jolie pitt are really doing their part.i hope that some people will learn to put their hateful souls into something good.their idol you know who will never be the fairest of them all.all they have left to talk is the angies weight,she has never being fat,but still they keep on opening their stupid ass smelly mouths to talk.your nasty talks cannot hurt her, they will continue to put her up there.but what about you what have you achieve ask your selves that
Bravo! to Angelina and Brad for their hard work on this cause and the generous donations they have made.
Thanks JJ for sticking to the REAL news and skipping all the tabloid garbage!
Exactly…her hair is extremely long…wonder if it’s for the role…”Wanted”.
Did anyone else notice, well it seems she’s wearing Brad’s necklace or one just like his. The one with the Zodiac signs.
Go, Angie, go! She’s SOOOOOOO beautiful!
so sorry…I enlarged the pix and it’s NOT the same one.
I am full of admiration for this woman. I am full of loathing for the people who have nothing better to do with their days but to come on a celebrity blog and wait for Ms. Jolie’s picture to be posted to begin their vile posts. I shall return only after I’m sure someone like Cliniqua has been here to teach you all some manners…if you CAN be taught.
Thanks JJ. I’m sorry that you are gaining the attention of so many trolls. It is ruining it for a lot of us.
I bet Jennifer can’t go out without make up, Angie is the most beautiful person inside and out. I don’t know why some people hate her.
I can’t believe that some people here have started the insane game again.Her eyes are too bright?Is this what what you’re going to focus on now?Her eyes are too bright,what does it mean?Is she on drugs?Was she crying?When is this going to stop?Every photo of her goes under the microscope just to find that little detail that can make you say something bad about her.No other person is analyzed so much as she,it just becomes insanity.It is true that sometimes hate is more powerful than love but some people here have gone too far.If you don’t like her,why don’t you just ignore her?It’s more simple than spending so much time attacking a woman who only tries to make some good things for people who are in need.I pity you!
Boy she’s aging BADLY! Having an evil soul will do that to you
I’m an Angie fan. But I do agree, she has lost a ton of weight since her pregnancy, and she doesn’t look healthy. I am worried about her health. Its sad that before BP, she always looked healthy and happy. Now she looks superskinny and unhealthy.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUU¡¡¡¡YOU AREN´T ANGIE FAN
—————-
I am an Angie fan, and the regulars here know it. I’m just concerned for her health. Just because I’m concerned with her health, you automatically assume I’m a Maniston fan.. Geez. Can’t I be concerned with Angie’s well-being? So to prove that I’m an Angie fan, do I have to say she looks healthy? Cause she doesn’t. She clearly isn’t.
Angie you are an amazing woman. You are truly blessed by God. You are beautiful, talented, intelligent, kind hearted and of course you have Brad.
Keep up the good work.
Que es el karma famoso??? En fin espero que ella venga ya para Europa,porque vaya tela de haters.Que gilipollas son algunos,y que happy ponerlos a parir a los fans de la cara caballo,como no saben lo que escribo….ale ahi os quedais envidiosos de mierda.America es un pais raro,nombra a una cabezona enana como Resee W novia de America,y a un fea y vieja como la única abondonada en la historia del mundo….que mala ostia se me esta poniendo
bye
Her mom’s death is still affecting her. Give her a break.
The sadness in her eyes breaks my heart. I can’t imagine all that she’s gone through.
She is most definitely in my prayers.
Ms. Jolie said, “The numbers associated with this problem are staggering. It is overwhelming and the scale of the problem seems to give many an excuse for inaction. In many ways it is better to think of these children one by one — each deserving of our care and attention, each being of equal value, and each being a test of whether justice — or injustice — will prevail.”
GO ANGIE GO!
She seriously looks like a skeleton in these shots….

what kinna skinny you talking about,we saw skinnier stars,when reese lose a ton of weight no one called her skinner,not to talk of nicole richie, the list goes on.if you donot like the lady you donot have to comment on her thread.angie is healthy and happy, beautiful as usual.go round the country and see what a mother of four looks like. atleast angie is not a fraud and fake like some people we know, she has her destiny on her hand not relying on the sympathy of people.her true fans love her and will always support her.haters = losers
It is jealousy plain and simple, Angie is not only beautiful but strong, she holds her head up high and goes about her biz, while idiots or actually (one idiot) goes on and on about crap. Unlike someone who will remain nameless, she actually goes out there and works, she just doesn’t sit down and then go and except awards. She is actually doing something postive.

It’s obvious the same handful of losers bashing here EVERY TIME. These trolls need to be IP BANNED. I’m not talking about deleting posts, i mean a PERMANANT IP BAN so they can’t post here EVER again.
If not, then WE need to take action and ABANDON this blog and move to the FANISTES where trolls can’t post.
It’s really time for Jared to put up or shut up.
BTW - Jared, ever hear the expression “The customers are always right”? Well the majority of your customers are BAMPZS fans, so start banning the trolls!
Ignore the trolls and the negatives comments. Be like Angie, lives our life without borders and spreads good will toward the citizen of the worlds, only then we can have peace….( and at JJ and Bamzville- to all of the brave trolls fighters, I salut you) * wink*
I’m trying to figure out why so many people here are considered with her health? I look at these pics and look at the same pics of her around 2005 and I see the same Angie, just a little older. As some one mention on her worst day she looks better than most of us twenty times over on our best day… so bitter haters…stop with the nonsense!
She’s a mother of four and she just lost her mum, of course she is tired and she is grieving! She probably knew she looked tired and to be ‘present’ for this charity she put in eye drops! duh!
To Meli (75)
ITA, they are looking this photos with the eye of hates and jelous, way to go Angelina, you makes Brad proud of you more and more
It is a bit sad the way that people lash out on each other at this site. If someone says something negative that is their issue. yet the responses make the “fans” no better than the “haters” . The celebrities character’s are defended using insulting tactics in response to the non-fans insults. One would thing we could rise above and see everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Secondly, what does anyone looks have to do with charitable acts?
True, she is looking older (remember, she is only 31-32?) and worn out. But that is her issue. And if the popluation as a collective whole is supposed to learning from her “angelic nature”, name calling really to me does not fit the profile.
I think it is great that they make these efforts to help those that are disadvantaged, but at the same time, lets try to keep it in perspective, that is what humans ought to do, so lets not applaud it so much because we ascribe to the stereotype that because they are rich/famous, it is REALLY great if they do… (because we assume normally most dont)
Anyhow, that is my take.
To each their own.
If only Angie was on American Idol last night. I would have loved to see her, especially in the celeb dance scene.

Angelina Jolie Launches Global Action for Children, an Advocacy Organization Dedicated to Orphans’ and Children’s Issues
WASHINGTON, April 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Angelina Jolie appeared at a press conference today to announce the formal launch of Global Action for Children (GAC). GAC is a nonpartisan advocacy organization focused on increasing funding by $2.5 billion per year by the US government for programs that support orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and provide free primary school education in developing countries.
GAC was formed in 2003 as a campaign organized by faith-based, nongovernmental and student organizations dedicated to OVC and the communities that care for them. GAC’s unique strength lies in the diversity of its partners and allies and its ability to mobilize a broad range of constituencies to advocate for children. Today’s announcement by Ms. Jolie marks the establishment of GAC’s new headquarters in Washington, DC, and formalization of the organization and staffing.
The press conference followed meetings between Ms. Jolie and GAC Executive Director Jennifer Delaney and senior officials at the U.S. Department of State to discuss policies and funding that will support OVC programs and access to education.
Ms. Jolie said, “The numbers associated with this problem are staggering. It is overwhelming and the scale of the problem seems to give many an excuse for inaction. In many ways it is better to think of these children one by one — each deserving of our care and attention, each being of equal value, and each being a test of whether justice — or injustice — will prevail.”
Speakers joining Ms. Jolie and Ms. Delaney at the press conference included Rev. Mpho Tutu, Chairperson of the Global AIDS Alliance Board, and director of the Tutu Institute; Gene Sperling, Director of the Center on Universal Education at the Council on Foreign Relations; Kay Warren, Executive Director of Saddleback Church’s HIV/AIDS Initiative, and wife of Pastor Rick Warren.
Jennifer Delaney, Executive Director of GAC added, “Angelina Jolie is a global leader on children issues. We are thrilled to have her as the honorary chairperson of the GAC Board. Her support of GAC helps us to ensure that orphans and vulnerable children in developing countries and the communities that care for them get the support they need.”
all the stupid people talking smack on angelina hope your hearts rott in hell you dont deserve to be called human beings love you angelina
sj says you boreed then step away from your pc, why log in here
ohwell and company never change, they just keep on coming here to spread their better souls
angie has save so many lives,being from Africa am so greatful,great woman great mother,she has achieved so much at such a young age
Angelina is beauty personified. Beautiful inside and out.
Why are people acknowledging posters you’re fully aware are here for no other purpsoe than to bait and pull you into not only empty arguments, but who’s goal is to take your attention away from the subject of this thread.
Is it that hard to ignore them and use the time constructively? Why not focus on the positive of this news instead of that seemingly never ending silliness some of you help perpetuate by engaging those who want to disrupt? Don’t you get it by now that their jealousy, envy, and the fact that nothing has panned out for them where predictions of Angelina & Brad’s end has panned out, on top of feelings of guilt that they do nothing to assist anyone with anything, and it kills them that Angelina never stops doing for others.
Please don’t help sully up this great news. Let those obviously here on that mission work harder to that end.
jpf
Brava Angie!!!!
Keeping on fighting the good fight. I am proud to be your fan and admire you for your contribution to the world as a whole.
We all know when you are doing something right there will be evil trying to bring you down.
I will never understand why people flock to something positive only to try and find fault in it. My gawd you people are truly unhappy. “She’s too thin, too glassy eyed, too dull, too ugly, too something, not happy, not healthy. If any of you are the reverse of any of these things then get up and do what she is doing. If as you say she is any of these things then she should be applauded for continuing to do what she believes in.
Who doesn’t think that if it weren’t for Angelina, Oprah, Brad and Bono last nights American Idol would have happened? Did Ryan Seacrest even know where Africa was located? Speaking of photo ops wasn’t it convenient that Simon and Ryan just happen to be there to take that woman to hospital where she died. Had that been AJ/BP haters around the world would have yelled it was rigged and she was exploiting that poor woman. I haven’t heard any outcries. I am happy that they raised the money, but without AJ/BP, Oprah, and Bono some of these things would not be happening. That is why she is on Time’s 100 Most Influential Peoples list. She doesn’t have to be first. She just has to be on the list.
I think she looks beautiful, inside and out. Peace.
For the people who say she looks older, go look at stars her age. Like Drew barrymoore(most beautiful woman alive) , charlize theron and Kate winslet to name a few. I don’t feel like searching and pulling out pics, but they’re all the same age and aging the same.
we are all aging so get used to it.
See her like this breaks my heart, I hope she gets better.
is not easy ignoring some of the negative comments,i know that anyone was talking smack about my family members or friends i will be ready to defend them.is very easy if you donot like them you should not have anything to do with them.i saw AT TMZ THAT A LADY WAS TRYING TO HARM SANDRA BULLOCKS HUSBAND,this is how the haters are, it will start from hatfeul comment to stalking and finnally wanting to cause harm.there are many mentally unstable people that need to be institutionalized, some of the haters belong to these institution
I apologize. I didn’t follow my own advice about responding to the haters. Peace.
Original jpf,
Hola, and welcome back.
What happened to those ’so called fans’ who were on th old thread when the new thread was announced. They(it) left in concert.
i hope angie and brad keep on doing the good that they started, ignore their critics,love each othe and their children
That wasn’t a question for you Ojpf. I’m wondering aloud. 2 separate observations.
She looks like she’d been up late and just in need of more sleep plus a good breakfast, that is all. Not a lot of makeup on but she is still gorgeous. Angie’s trying to look really simple and not glam probably because she wants to be taken seriously as an activist and not as a HW star.
#s: 1,8,10,13,15,18,24,26,29 = all negative comments and it’s only the first page. Wow, can’t wait to find more faults on the next two or three.
