Angelina 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.

After I gave birth, I became really skinny through breastfeeding. It takes all the fat out of your body! Doesn’t happen to all women, but probably Ange since she is very slim to begin with. Also, after my mum died I looked exhausted and skinny for about 2 years until I came to terms with what happened - give Ange a break, she’s doing her best and has obviously lots of work on and lots of kids. It’s a hard job bringing up a family and then your mum dies as well; a huge emotional toll and very very draining physically as well.

she looks deeply unhappy , tired, sad , i can t define …omg!what happend to that woman..i ve to agree with George here ..he put it right …i agree …i think very very soon will find out what the ***k is really goin on ..n that s gonna be quite an afternoon …like old people say here “WHAT YOU DO - YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF”

182/Meli - I love that picture! Thank you for posting.

She always make me proud to be one of her biggest fans! Beautiful, inside and out!

BTW, I’m sure lena must be quite a stunner with the extensive critique being posted above.

Acutally my boyfriend makes me feel like a stunner, furthermore my “critique” as you call it, is my opinion…am i not entitled to have one?.. i’m concerned about her weight and she has lost alot of weight with the stress of her personal life and all..when i lost alot of weight people commented on it and i finally decided to shape myself up.. im a concerned fan…she’s beautiful, just extremely thinner than her ususal and it’s making her look older than what she is! I think eveybody can see that, back off, my comments are not as bad as other posters on this blog! personal attacks are not necessary…and by the way… I like AJ!!!!
