OlderAngelina Jolie @ Clinton Global Initiative
Angelina Jolie announces a significant $148 million initiative to help educate children in conflict areas at the Clinton Global Initiative on Wednesday in New York City — the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.
“Education can transform the lives of children in conflict, giving them the tools to create a better future for their families and their nations,” explained Angie, who co-chairs the Education Partnership with Gene Sperling, Director of the Center for Universal Education at the Council on Foreign Relations. “This Partnership is putting words into action,” Angie explained, “and demonstrating that even in the most difficult circumstances, every child can and should have a chance to learn.”
The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict will include:
– 18 Commitments from 19 World Renowned Organizations and Individuals in 15 Countries
– Commitments to improve educational opportunities for 1+ million conflict-affected children including (1) 350,000 out-of-school children in conflict-affected regions to be given an opportunity to attend school and (2) Improve the learning environment, safety, materials and teacher quality of another 690,0000 children in conflict affected regions
– The commitments will assist 200,000 Iraqi refugee children and aid than 300,000 children affected by the Darfur genocide.

Who cares what she looks like the woman has class and brains. She is a great role model.
Angie is absolutely amazing, I’m crying my eyes out when she talked about the man with maggots and the boy she thought would have been a good doctor.
Thank you Angie, if I wasn’t your fan I probably wouldn’t have tuned in to watch this. And I like many others would continue to be ignorant about issues such as refugees and take for granted the importance of education for all.
Angelina is listening and enjoying Valentino’s optimism.
Angelina hears and listens.

Valentino thinks Power struggles, not religion is the problem in his country. My heart is full. What a wonderful, warm ,soft spoken and well spoken man.

aj has got the most BEAUTIFUL EYES i’ve ever seen!
Angelina just finished her commentary about her trip in Iraq and Syria. She gave a very flawless and awesome remarks about her recent trip. Very natural, and I didn’t see a trace of nervousness, although towards the end of her declaration, she felt emotional and fot teary-eyed, I thought tears will actually let go of her beautiful and natural very light make up faxe.
when you hear her speak about what she’s witnessed, her not caring about tabloid crap makes so much sense

Absolutely.
TP, she told a story of a young man she met on the camps who had been set on fire for religious reasons and had fled to Syria. His wounds were infected and he was begging on the streets. Everybody ignored him and was repulsed by his wounds. He had no medical care or friends to help him. There he met a young eight-year old boy, very poor, who sold tissues on the streets for a living.
The first guy offered the boy some of his beeging money if he helped clean the wounds. When the boy took the bandages off, there were lots of maggots and he fled away, frightened. But afterwards he came back and helped the other guy.
When Angie met them, the two boys had been together in the camp for four months, the younger one taking care of the other. Agie asked him if he wanted to be a doctor, he was such a natural, and the kid said: “but I have to sell tissues”. Survival was too important for him to understand any other future would ever be available.
Angie is the epitome of Beauty and Grace, and She is even more beautiful on the inside.
She has a huge heart.
where are the pix of brad’s mini speech?
Álvaro Uribe President Republic of Colombia is speaking of illegal drugs hurts education for the children in his country.
Angie said I took three kids to school today who were not too thrilled.
Zahara and Pax must go to school in NY too.
dont mind the trollz peeps.they just suffered a brain hemorrhage of jealousy.
Man, this is some deep stuff. Drugs, power struggles, nutrition, etc…
It’s just not about education. It’s about obstacles to education as
much as education.
Amazing woman :D
This is making a difference in action. Wish we could be a little bit like her. Thanks JJ for the pictures. Keep them coming.
MUCH Respect
Tabloids in America have dumbed down the senses of people about who Angelina is. This woman is far ahead of her contemporaries, my goodness. Never pay a cent for tabloid to tell you a thing about this woman again. It is total injustice to her image. On the other hand, the type of things that she and Brad do would not even allow their heads to be in tabloids. It’s like day and night.
Host has ask AJ about people who want to help info on what a peson/people can do. She is saying security for girls is an issue etc,,. They Look for people who are already doing great work,. and certainly have people give help to them ,she is an elegant speaker.
