Angelina Jolie @ Global Action for Children

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.

Thanks for the People Magazine link. Beautiful picture and summary. Thanks again Just Jared.

The haters got here fast because they on the old thread under a different name.

#38: What can you do? She was born with those gorgeously colored and beautifully shaped peepholes, stupid.

Just accept the fact that there are people like Angelina who are blessed with great genes. That’s what’s making you green with envy and feeding your jealousy.

Angie is amazing….beauty, intelligence, talent, good heart and Brad Pitt.

ITA. Enough said.

hi ida- yes, there are some nasty people here :( Let’s just ignore them though b/c all they really want is a good fight and they are not worth it.

Angelina eyes are her best features. Look at those beautiful eyes.

But her mighty and generous heart is a gift many orphans and disadvantaged children of the world.

Me encantan tus posts! Eres bien chistosa y en punto. Me tienes a carcajadas y todos a mi alrededor, en mi trabajo, me estan viendo como si estuviese loca! :-)

now i feel good WELL COME REGULARS AM LOVING THE COMMENTS i made a huge mistake replying to the trolls but i have learn my lessons.i got to go but i donot want to because of you great fans

I hope from now on People.com uses that pic instead of that really bad pic of her at the premier of the God grew tired of us. Just for the record I don\’t think she looks very good here BUT she looks better than she looked back in december at the Good Sheperd or God Grew tired of us premiers.

susie how is guli doing still in turkey

When does she start filming Wanted?

The main thing is BRAD PITT never complain about how Angelina looks, he’s with her every night of the same bed ( like Cliniqua says SWOOOON),

To Susie (132)

ITA just ignore, btw how are you and your boys ?

What happened to those ’so called fans’ who were on th old thread when the new thread was announced. They(it) left in concert.

===============

No cook, they did not leave. They were the ones who posted the vile and malicious posts … changing their names, that is easy to do. They are just around ready to hit Angie anytime.

Later when things have settled, they will come back in disguise as fans and then create friction and animosity among true fans.

pretty face but her body is TOO SKINNY
she looks sick that’s sad

i am looking foward to seeing then at cannes walking the red carpet hand in hand, nothing better than that

OMG!! I cannot believe the same PATHETIC hater is posting again and again under different names!! GET A LIFE, PATHETIC LOSER!!

And WOW!! Angie looks so beautiful in this new pics!! And it’s just me or somebody else notice a “glow” in Angie??

I guess it would be too much trouble if people actually took the time and read about this organization rather than focusing on someone looks. However, AJ is a beautiful woman who is raising 4 children, keeping a man happy and still doing her charity work. We should all be so lucky. Even in her “tired” days, she is still simply stunning. It so simple to critique on a blog, much harder to go out there and make a difference and effect change. Best wishes to BAMPZS.

bye true bampzs fans peace and love to the family

Hi - her hair is pretty dark - I prefer it lighter on her. Anyone know if she is prepping for a movie - this could explain the more dark look.

ida- I have not heard from guli but I bet she is doing great with her family, I do miss her :lol:

hanna- hi there, the boys are great, thank you :) How is your son doing? :lol:

Perez Hilton is trolling for votes on this Time Magazine poll, unfortunately he has moved up from 12 to 10.

Angie is at 15 and Brad at 19.
