Jolie-Pitt Foundation Helps Schools
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation, Brad’s brother Doug(pictured left) and another Missouri businessman are banding together to help Springfield schools. The Care to Learn Foundation helps students with basic needs like hygiene, hunger and heath. Founders will donate “$3 for every $1 contributed, and funds will support.” The Foundation for Springfield Public Schools will oversee the fund. So many children aren’t able to learn because basic needs are not met. A hungry, sick child isn’t able learn. Kudos to Brad, Doug and Angelina for their continued support of young people. This effort should go a long way towards helping public school students in Brad’s home town. Totally random note: Doug’s a cutie like his brother.
Angelina and Brad May Produce Doctors Without Borders TV Drama.
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007
US Weekly is reporting, that Angelina and Brad might be producing a drama that focuses on the humanitarian agency
A Doctors Without Borders rep seems to suggest there’s some truth to the story:
“Brad [Pitt]and Angelina have been supporters of ours for a long time. They have been meeting with us to learn more about our work. And they have been meeting with other people about a possible project.”
Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), is an independent international medical humanitarian organization that provides emergency aid to people affected by war, famines, epidemics, disasters of all kinds, or exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries.
Last year Brad and Angie’s Jolie-Pitt Foundation donated $1 million MFS.
At the time Angelina talked about the organization’s work worldwide.
“In the most troubled parts of the world — places that much of the world has abandoned — MSF is always there. I have seen these brave men and women working in war zones and horrific conditions and I deeply admire them.”
MFS is currently helping to manage an Eboloa outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and delivering medical care to Indonesian earthquake survivors.
Those are just two things they are working on. The group is providing care in virtually every corner of the world
I’m sure that any proceeds from the possible show would go to help MFS. I was a bit suspicious of this story but the statement from a Doctors Without Borders representative suggests something is in the works. I’ve long admired this organization and would love to see a documentary or reality type series. What about you?
You can donate to HERE. Remember, every little bit helps.
