Brad & Angelina Open HIV/AIDS Clinic in Ethiopia

Brad & Angelina Open HIV/AIDS Clinic in Ethiopia

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are continuing to help kids around the world, helping those who have been affected by tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation just donated $2 million to the Global Health Committee to plant a help center in Ethiopia, which will be named after their daughter Zahara (she was adopted from Ethiopia).

The center will be modeled after Maddox Chivan Children’s Center in Cambodia (named after their oldest son), where children receive medical, education and social services.

“Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease,” Jolie said in a statement to People.

Added Pitt, “It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission. The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable.”

piper with a low, I don’t understand the alien comment. But that is okay. Girl he could have been connecting with any number of things, and yes some of the things you mentioned. But from the way he said it, and I read it I think it was something more personal than a head phone listener, etc.

But that is just my HMO. I don’t think it is that heavy or deep. At least it isn’t for me. I’m just having fun. You know how girls are. Peace

Re: Chad…

To me, he came across as an alien.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS… PLEASE SKIP IF YOU STILL HAVEN”T SEEN BAR!!!!

As for Brad ‘finding’ Chad, there could’ve been dozens of things that Brad latched onto. Maybe he was an incessant headphone listener; or someone who insisted on drinking bottled water versus tap water; or someone who gets hopped up on endorphins during and after exercise; or used to coddle women with poor body image issues (hint! hint!); or someone who hated dressing appropriately for the situation; or the incessant $-word dropping; or pretending to be smarter or more sophisticated than humanly possible for the situation.

Or any number of other things that could link Brad to Chad.

thats a lovely pic of the two of them

Talking the talking and walking the walking
they’re great people!

Aren’t they great? That’s why I love them. They have good souls. Helping others at the same time instilling good values to their children. They are just soooooo inspiring.

Thank you Brad & Angie.

Darn! no one in Hollywood is big hearted & caring for both NOLA& patthetic needy as wonderhul B&A.in the sad SAD CHILDREN OF THE 3RD WORLD.
Rich celebs Bring out your stingy POCKETBOOKS

That is a really amazing thing they are doing but no their child should not be forced or obligated to run this when she grows up.

___________________________

i know. isn’t great when your parents have hopes and dreams for your future? and those hopes and dreams are about helping others? amazing.

eventhough what they do with their money is rightfull there own business it’s amazing that thier openin a clinic and the fact that they want zahara to take control when she;s older cleary defines what type of parents they are a lovely couple doing beautiful things

she is such a glam *****/hypocrite….she tries to help rebuild others’ happiness because she can’t live with her conscious over destroying Jennifer Aniston’s. Actually both of them should be banned from Hollywood for making violent movies while promoting world peace.

Wouldn’t it be nice if some celebrites actually used their fortunes help out people in their OWN country… No offense to Africa, or any other country.. but god damn, lets help our OWN cause in america , just a little.

>>>>>>>>>>>

Sheesssh, whiners like you (and I note there are a few posts like yours) are really painful.

To quote Cliniqua:

Brad & Angelina HAVE DONE in this country, see ‘Make It Right Foundation,’ building and rebuilding for Katrina victims in New Orleans (something your own Bush gov never did, nd won’t do) see Native American Programs that Angelina has supported and funded for the last 6 years, see donations to our National Education Association in 2006-7, and the most recent 1 million dollar donation to programs for American children of the U.S. military affected by the current ongoing Iraq ‘war.’

Now to those of you whiners whining but why Brad and Angelina help out by building a clinic in the Appalachians, let me add these questions:

If you are self employed, earning about 50k year, will you be able to afford decent medical care for yourself and your family? Probably NOT. IF you are self employed and earn 70k a year - can you afford health insurance in America?

Now how about you QUIT WHINING about how other people spend their OWN MONEY and focus on how your government is spending YOUR MONEY?? Are they providing you with adequate health care? Which party is more likely to give you better universal health care? Do you KNOW?

Do you know what Republicans and Democrats want to do with tax payers money? If the party advocates staying on in Iraq or invading Iran, what does that mean for your taxpayers money? Do you agree with the priorities of each party?

Given that you whiners haven’t bothered to do any research on what Brad and Angelina have already given to the US of A (after you first accused them of being media hos for doing Make It Right etc), it makes me wonder whether some of you whiners have really researched and given deep thought to which party truly represents your best interests?

Amazing couple! :D I adore Angie and am happy for her that she found a partner who shares the same worldview as she does.

The Jolie-Pitt’s RULE! Simple as.

That’s wonderful. The Jolie Pitts are awesome!

Lylian: ROFLMAO. HAHAHAHAHAHA

So, you are admitting that poor Jennifer Aniston has been destroyed. Poor Jennifer Aniston. All that money, all those looks, the killer body, the movie star talent, the goddess circle, the agents, the PR manager and still, Jennifer Aniston has been DESTROYED. Poor Jennifer Aniston.

And who destroyed Jennifer Aniston, the woman who has everything????

Why, by a mere slip of a woman who according to you is UGLY, tattooed, dirty, mentally unstable, UNTALENTED, woman, who has NO Publicist, NO Agent, NO Friends (much more a Goddess circle), bisexual deviant who cannot control her sexuality.

Even I, who is NOT a Jen fan, have more respect for Jennifer and believe that she has more control, more power and enjoys her life more than you do.

With fans like you, no wonder you make Jennifer Aniston’s skin crawl.

I’m no fan’s of Jennifer Aniston but even you my dear, make my skin crawl.

Ewwwwww!!!

+++++++++++++++

Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine. How many millions have YOU donated to American charities? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Now STFU until you do.

beverly @ 09/14/2008 at 2:24 am

Jesus please us, after three and a half years you’re still blaming Angelina about poor Jenny-poo? Is it Angelina’s fault she keeps getting dumped? Is it Angelina’s fault nobody wants her? Is it Angelina’s fault she can’t get her crappy movies released? Is it Angelina’s fault she’s a loser?

Brad should go down on his knees and thank Angelina every day he has to live for cutting him loose from that ball and chain.

JEEEEEZ we get it! OKEY you guys are nice people and like to help out, But don’t push it … Instead of creating a new one’s why can’t they just donate to those who already exist?? Its becomme a bit cheasy now…

++++++++++++++++++

Yet if they hadn’t made the announcement moronic trolls like yourself would be claiming they didn’t give any of the money for the twins pix to charity. They can’t win with close-minded b#tches like you.
