Angelina Jolie Celebrates World Refugee Day
Since early 2001, Angelina Jolie has traveled the world as a Goodwill Ambassador to UNHCR, The UN Refugee Agency. On World Refugee Day, she pays tribute to the forcibly uprooted and to the people who protect them.
Here’s what Angie, who is expecting twins with Brad Pitt this summer, says in her PSA:
“They have survived war, they have survived displacement, they have survived rape, they have survived hunger and disease. For those who have survived and for those who did not, we are thinking of you on this day.”
Friday, June 20 is World Refugee. Visit UNHCR.org to get involved.

God bless her. she is an inspiration. she puts her time,resources, and name to good use.
Good morning JP fans. I liked Angelina message.
The UN needs many many more people like her as aid workers. There are many right now that are not up to snuff.

Jared, thanks for putting up a thread about the refugee day, it is good to know that seven years after she was awakened to the need of those that barely made the evening news, her commitment to that cause is as strong today as it was seven years ago. Of course now it is cool to be called a humanitarian, but as always, she leads where others follow. Seven years is a long time to be actively involved in a cause and it seems with her she will be involved for life.
May her life continue to be enriched by love, joy and happiness, it seems as if the more she has given of herself the more she has been blessed with richness of life that is beyond financial and professional success, the sort of joy that her detractors have never had and may never know.
Angilina seems pretty kool i cant wait to go c her movie!
Angelina Jolie as a UNHCR goodwill ambassador has done so much for refugees worldwide from Africa to asia , Iraq and South America. She not only brings attention to refugee causes but financially helps displaced refugees fleeing from their country. Angie is so admirable, she doesn’t just talk but actually act more to help out. With her celebrity stature, she doesn’t have to after all these years but she actively chooses to be part of the solution of refugee oppression, displacement and justice. Her humanitarian work for refugees has given her life more meaning, purpose and humility. Kudos to the UNHCR and to Angie for doing what no other agency is doing for world refugees.
ANGIE,
YOU’RE SIMPLY THE BEST.
This is my last comment , but to ‘micro’ what part of that clip deserves the worldly’. This is a serious issue. I can’t believe people get up in the morn to be vile. It’s so unnecessary. I believe what you put out is what you get back. So maybe you should focus your energy on things you appreciate.
Did you even listen to what she said? The words ‘rape,’abused’ survivor’. I speak for me and I wouldn’t mind if you ska-daddle else where. Don’t mock. Good day. Try and think be4 you type. We are more alike than different, we are humans aren’t we. Not trying to over step boundaries since I’m new but I’m never ceased to be amazed.

My post posted twice. I typed ‘wordly’and left out ‘ugly ‘the 1st time. Excuse me. Nelah.
The worldwide problem of refugees from Sudan, Iraq, Columbia, Myanmar, etc. is alarming. To posters who have nothing good to say but come to this thread immaturely and personally attacking Angie- SHAME ON YOU!
