Angelina Jolie - World Refugee Day PSA

# 149 bermy girl @ 06/15/2009 at 5:26 pm vickifromtexas - hi. ITA Angelina is an inspiration on many levels. We may not lead her lifestyle or have her resources but she (along with others) demonstrates that beauty, talent, and glamour can all be compatible with compassion and purpose.

I also admire how she decided to re-direct her focus and goals in life. I truly believe the love and fulfillment that came her way is a direct result of the changes she made in her life.

I hear what you are saying PT, My point was that no other HW star, or wife of a HW star has whined about a relationship as much as X.

I got that and I agree. I just think Uma’s a bad example of someone who didn’t whine. What the hell was she going to whine about when she was put in the exact same position as Gary Oldman’s first wife? The fault lies with the men because they’re ones who were married and Uma was really young at the time…but…after Oldman was invovled in other relationships with men who were either married or living with someone. Robert DeNiro just to name one. And while I don’t believe Brad cheated on X, I also think if he’d deep-sixed X in 2002 or 2003 when he had one foot out the door everything that’s been blamed on Angie would be a moot issue. The fact is - men can’t be “stolen” or tempted away from anything they’re fully committed to and invested in.
.
BTW - isn’t “What goes around comes around” synonymous with “Karma”? I definitely believe What goes around comes around or karma or whatever you want to call it. It’s a basic fact of life - eveything is cyclical.

@claire:
I agree with you totally. Before he met Angelina, Brad was just an actor in HW. Brad has become a better man because of Angelina. I believe behind a sucessful man there is always a good lady.

poor kids in america are still live 10 times better than refugees in other poor countries. also, its not angie’s job to take care of the kids in america and other countries but she chose to help other countries because she knows they need more help than here. the condition of the refugee from other countries are really bad. i know because I was a refugee.

Brad and angie are cool with the teen crowd,lol

@UPI: no they’re not. Brad pitt will win because the idiots still Blame everythin on Angelina and they just love the old Botox man known as Brad Pitt. I have a feeling that if Angelina didn’t come out raising Brad pitt up on a pedestal most would probably dislike him just as much as they dislike her. She gushes about every man she has ever worked with/dated.

Here it is:

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt used their star power Saturday to help The Children’s Health Fund focus attention on the more than 46,000 children still displaced 21/2 years after hurricanes Katrina and Rita destroyed their homes.

Jolie said her work as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees prompted her to get involved with the CHF’s effort.

“This is the largest displacement of children in my own country so I want to learn as much as possible,” she said at a news conference.

A report issued earlier this month by the CHF found that 46,000 to 64,000 children affected by the hurricanes were still at risk for a host of medical, mental health and educational problems complicated by a lack of support services.

“Many families are distressed about how long and difficult the recovery has been,” said Dr. Irwin Redlener, president of the CHF and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, which conducted the study.

“We’re concerned that this issue has fallen off the radar screen and that, nationally, people are losing interest, saying this is a ‘local’ issue. We dispute that. This is a national problem and one that requires an intense and focused effort to fix,” Redlener said.

Redlener said it was “unacceptable” that more than two years families were still living in federally issued travel trailers or other temporary locations. “This is an American challenge that should have been met a long time ago but hasn’t.”

Jolie said that in her travels she has seen many children who feel defeated.

The difference here, she said, is that children “are feisty, fun and full of pride. They know where they’re going and what they’re going to do. It’s that kind of spirit that will help everyone get through this.”

Pitt and Jolie have made New Orleans their home since the hurricanes and have been working to help the area recover.

“We’re focused on community building,” Pitt said. “It’s not just about homes. It’s not just about building. It’s about the lack of focus on education and health care too.”

Pitt has pledged more than $5 million to Make it Right, a project to rebuild 150 homes in the Katrina-devastated Lower 9th Ward, one of the city’s most impoverished neighborhoods.

Redlener said his group and the Regional Consortium for Children in the Gulf, a coalition of several groups, have devised a “prescription for what must happen now,” with proposals including:

· Urging the Federal Emergency Management Agency to develop a process that ensures that every relocated family goes into appropriate housing in safe neighborhoods with access to schools, community based sources of social support and health care.

· Urging federal and local officials to ensure access to onsite health care and mental health services for families still living in temporary housing.

· Creating relocation options for families who want to leave the Gulf Coast and move to other communities.
