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.

Damn she looks old and haggard for a supposed 32 year old.
============================
it’s the wages of sin showing on her face.
========
So you must look PERFECT since you’re so sinless?? Geez. If I hate a celeb, I IGNORE their threads. Why don’t you do the same? I can’t stand Lindsay, Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, etc.. But I NEVER go to their threads cause it’s pointless. Get a life loser!

MORE PHOTOS OF ANGIE
NOT ARE HER BEST PHOTOS REALLY, BUT THE IMPORTANT WAS WHAT SHE SAID.
I think we should do a donation in the name of the fans here, for brad’s and angie’s projects. They are an inspiration and it’s about time to show how we can help.
I am watching the news and Bill Clinton announced earlier today that Norway has committed 1 Billion dollars towards the CGI and the various organizations represented at the Annual Meeting. It will save 2 million lives. I hope that this spurs other countries on to upping their contributions.
Ew, her legs.
MOISTURIZE ANGIE!
Your face is too nice to let it get wrinkled like a raisin.
Thanks Coal for the link….you rock!
ROTFLMFBAO.
i really like Angie with a darker hair y’all.
Wenn has pixs of Angelina’s earlier press conference today.

Angie has one of the biggest hearts out there. Instead of just feeling sorry for those children she acually does something about it. :D Love her for that! She’s truly working hard to make the world a better place. What better way than to provide children, our future, proper education and a safer environment?
183 Fug Face Man!ston
was Tom invited?
that’s right, it wasn’t Scientology related
Brad was at Angelina’s plenary panel discussion.
I am soooo proud of them!!!! If anyone starts to talk about stupid tabloids and worry about what they say CAN NOT BE a FAN!!!!!
These two are so way above that trash, they have so much compassion, love, dedication and class that’s why the tabs and the trolls hate them. So be it…..
You can watcn both Papa Pitt and Mama Jolie at this link. Bradley at the ‘lunch’ 12 oclock…click on it (he is almost towards the end) and Angie at the 5:30 session as soon as LIVE NOW is taken off and then you can watch it…..
It is wonderful to be a JP Fan :lol: :lol: :lol:

================================================
how do you know? there are pics? link please :)
angelina looks great in these photos and after hearing most of what her speech contained, i think everyone can see why she wants to help as many refugees that she can out there. she is truly an inspiration. i hope to one day help out in my own little way in these causes too. :-)
Can we concentrate on the content and the issues of today than how they “look”? This was not a red carpet appearance, for Pete’s sake.
They have indeed raised the bar, folks…let’s enjoy the information in the context in which it was delivered. They are trying to help people. Let’s grow up for just a minute, OK?
Finally after listing to angie today, I got why she doesn’t care about tabloids. I feel so stupid for actually caring or getting mad sometimes. The issues that are dear to her heart are at such different level and importance that there is no room for cheap tabbies. She’s amazing
Trolls = boringness and stupidity. Serious, there’s no patience for the same blah, blah… day after day…
Shoot I forgot the link…. Cr@p, give me a break I am emotional, proud and cried when Angie and the guy from Sudan talked, here it is….

even if she looks 80..it doesn’t matter to us fans…we’re not that superficial..she’s got a big heart and a big bank account…AND she uses both for the good of others!!!
She also did this:
From AlertNet.org:
There was an atmosphere of joy and jubilation in Largo refugee camp last week when 50 Liberian refugee women each received a sewing machine after successfully completing a sewing skills course, funded by UNHCR’s goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie.
“Today, our dreams have come true and for this we are very grateful. When we came to the camp, we did not know anything. But, with the skills that we have learned, we now know how to sew both for children and adults, we can return to Liberia and will be able to do something on our own,” said Sangay Kawala on behalf of the trainees. At the graduation ceremony the refugees sang songs in praise of Angelina Jolie and UNHCR. The Goodwill Ambassador donated the funds for the sewing courses in four refugee camps in Sierra Leone, including buying some of the sewing machines distributed to participants.
Hi again, Estelle you Bampzsie, thanks for Revealing……all , its such a kick , isn’t it?
Had been waiting all week for Angie’s time at the CGI and her panel discussions. Really, can’t wax poetic enough over all she’s done .
What an amazing woman !!! There is no other like her!
Have yet to see the evening session and then hobble over to watch Brad’s speech.
