Angelina Jolie cries...for help?

angelina jolieAngelina Jolie recently attended the Clinton Global Initiative event where she spoke about her recent experiences in Syria when she visited some refugees. She talked about an odd pair of refugees she met - odd in the sense that one of them was a horribly burnt man and taking care of this man was a small boy. Apparently, the man was burned and thrown into a trash can and the boy found him and would take care of him, regardless of how the man looked (maggots were coming out of his wounds).

Angelina was brought to tears as she recounted her tale to the panel. It just shows that she really does have sympathy for people with unfortunate lives. She really does deserve to be a Goodwill Ambassador. Oh and Brad Pitt was there too, at the event, to talk about his fund-raising project involving building homes for people affected by hurricane Katrina.

I wish there were more people like them - committed to giving service to lesser and needy folks and at the same time, raising awareness to those who can give help. I really admire Angelina Jolie for turning her life around for the better.
