Doing Saintly Things



How can you not love this woman????

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has flown to Iraq to witness firsthand the humanitarian crisis there, the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR has announced.

Santa Angelina flew from New York to Syria on Monday. In Damascus, she visited a UNHCR registration center and spend hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.

On Tuesday, the mother of four crossed over to Iraq to meet with 1,200 refugees camped out in a makeshift outpost at the border, because they are unable to leave the country.

“I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners,” Jolie said in a statement. “My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq.”

Besides her activities for UNHCR, Jolie also met privately with American troops and other multi-national forces in the region.

Giving back to the horny troops!

Jolie’s humanitarian efforts have taken her all over the world this year.

More celebrities should be like her!
