Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Donate $1 Million to Kids Affected by War
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's foundation has donated $1 million to children affected by the Iraq war.
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation will provide $500,000 for school supplies and education programs for refugee children in Iraq and $500,000 for American children who either lost a parent deployed in Iraq or have a parent serving in that country.
The donations for American children will go to a tutoring initiative at the Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program.
Jolie – who is pregnant with the couple's twins – traveled to Iraq in February. She is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
"My visit [to Iraq] left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis," she wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post.
Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, forked over $8 million for their foundation in 2006. That year, the foundation gave $1 million gifts to Doctors Without Borders (International Division) and the Global AIDS Alliance.

They seem to donate all the time. I know she had said she'd stop working but I really think she keeps doing more so she can donate more
