Brad & Angelina Continue New Orleans Housing Efforts

Thank you for the update and new thread JJ!
I so admire the JP’s for all the good works that they do to help others who are less fortunate or have suffered a great loss. May God continue to bless them and their family!

thanks jared for the new thread! and pics!
looking forward to seeing more of the jolie-pitts tomorrow.
i hope they spread the charitable bug to everyone, fans and haters alike.
remember, it’s the holiday season, a time for sharing and caring and all that ;)
i really admire the composure of these two individuals, despite the public media glare on them and their family.
i know brad and angelina can’t single-handily solve the problems facing NOLA right now, but it’s really refreshing to see people trying to be pro-active rather than be reactive all the time.
these two really deserve all the props that they get.
and even though there are still doubters out there, the good thing is that they just try to do their best and keep on chugging along, doing what they do with the best intentions, in the best way they know how.
it’s doing good stuff like these that does the heart good… good for them.

god bless all!

For those who insist on posting some of the negative comments from the NOLA article, just keep heaping misery on people who are already miserable enough. The Lower 9th Ward was just one neighborhood of many damaged and devastated by Katrina. Many many people have lost everything and are in great need. They want some help like Brad is now carrying out in their neighborhoods also. They are frustrated and expressing that frustration, which is perfectly understandable. Brad is one person among others who has done more than talk, he doing something good, and he decided to start his efforts in one neighborhood. This is just the beginning of what Brad envisions for Make It Right. Remember that from tiny accorns mighty oaks grow. Make It Right will bring both critically needed new housing and new jobs to an area in need of both.

A message for you that posted the frustrated comments and cries of people in need here in an effort to cast negativity on the good that Brad is doing, judge not lest you be judged. You may find yourself one day in need of someone like Brad to step forward after you have lost everything not through your own fault. You had better hope that some good people will step forward and offer you some assistance.

Why don’t they call their president? Isn’t he the one who is suppose to be helping with the rebuilding? Maybe he can divert some money from Iraq to help rebuild NO. Brad didn’t say he was going to rebuild all of NO. But he didn’t say he wasn’t. Let’s wait and see what his plans are before you start complaining. Brad is not the richest man in HW. And those that are haven’t stepped up to the plate to offer to help, that we know of. Peace :smile:

That’s ONE PERSON who’s sick of hearing about the 9th Ward. Sounds like jealousy to me. If Brad Pitt was in his/her neighborhood with this project it would be the best thing since DippityDo. Put he’s not and now THIS ONE PERSON is mad about it. That’s the way the ball bounces. So what else is new?

Thank you Jared for the new thread. I just love how the Jolie-Pitts roll together as a family, supporting each other, and sharing in each other’s interests. :)

# 24 PEOPLE FROM NOLA NOT HAPPY - PART 2 @ 12/02/2007 at 4:26 pm I’m glad that one Mr. Pitt is helping. But What about the people of Chalmette. We lost more then lower ninth ward. Ever home was flooded. Which there was a population of 67,000. How many lived in 9th ward?????????? We are suffering in Chamette to. I guess we just don’t exist. Just like after Katrina. But we do and someone needs to stand up for us. WE ARE HUMAN ALSO.

Yes, well it’s understandable why people are frustrated with the slow rebuilding process in Louisiana. But these people need to understand that this is one person, a private citizen, who is not required to do what he is doing, but he’s doing it because he wants to help.

The federal government, which SHOULD BE helping doesn’t seem to care one bit about what happens to people in this country anymore.

Each person can only do so much.
Brad and Angelina have also helped many schools in New Orleans with supplies and other things they might need.

They are doing what they can and more help is required. What is astonishing is that people are more worried about what’s happening to Britney and have become apathetic to the katrina aftermath. There seems to be fatigue in this country. It’s feels like no matter how much you scream or how much noise you make, the government does not seem to care about the citizens anymore.

Until this country and its citizens can get their act together and become united in their effort to demand that their governement take responsibility and do their job, there will a lot of unhappy people.

Hello to all BAMPSZ fans!
Hello MF and Guli! Dear ladies, you can’t imagine, how much you’ve done to me this night (in Russia it’s night), you’ve already safed me from terrible things I could have done! Just leaving your comments on my video!

I’m so proud of our Brad and Angie of the great things they do! And Angie is absolutely beautiful without cosmetics!
Brad handsome as always!

It is so good to see some of the “old timers”, original fans posting again. The next couple of days are going to be nut case to the 9th power. The Today Show tomorrow. ET. Then LK. I am so happy LK is having people e-mail their questions. That way there won’t be anyone calling in and saying something hateful or stupid. Remember he had B.Clinton on, and someone called in and said something stupid. LK disconnected the phone call. Clinton asked what had the caller said? But LK wouldn’t tell him. He just said he wouldn’t repeat it. This type of thing will be avoided by using e-mails. I am certain this will disappoing the trolls/haters. Peace

the whole truth @ 12/02/2007 at 5:04 pm

ITAWU….brad and angie cannot help everyone…at least they walk the way they talk….

these complainers should go and ask their political rich leaders to share some of those monies they pocketed….ask bush and cheney to spend the money to fix their own country and not spend on the iraq war for their oil and arms enrichment…

or ask OKRA….she sure can share her money….she gave away stuff to all her audiences….why not help the people in NOLA to build their houses….she is richer that both brad and angie….so where is she???

i bet you she’s in her $50million home in LA….warm and comfy….and she built exclusive schools for girls in africa….so where is the cry out against her charities….sheeessssssshhhhhhhh….

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

hey guli….just relaxin….and dreading going back to work tomorrow….so swamp w/ work and my immediate boss is on vacay and moi is the only one handling our two big bosses’ schedules and meetings….busy bee is moi… :-(

ROTFL. Hey AG - Long time no see! I admire your restraint as I heap insults upon Porgie’s block head. Never let it be said that I’m not consistent in my dislike of the Porgster! Just think…the old adage says familiarity breeds contempt. Can you just imagine what I’d say about the guy if I knew him? I mean, come on…FABIO? Lord have mercy…

i actually think brad and angelina are giving their children stability by taking them with them everywhere they go. they know their parents want to spend time with them and they are living their lives together. stability isn’t about where you are but who you are with. they seem to be very happy and they don’t need false sympathy. love to see them making a difference. they are awesome.

Thanks Jared.
