And she’s off!
Our favorite celebutarian embarked on another humanitarian mission this week.
Angelina Jolie has asked the Thai government to grant Myanmar refugees in northern Thailand greater liberties.
Saint Ang was busy goodwilling over in Thailand on Wednesday, spending a day listening to refugees tell their tales of the difficulties they have faced during years of living in camps.
An unstable political environment has forced people from Myanmar to flee to Thailand, which already generously hosts other refugees. Jolie asked for more freedom of movement for the refugees, banking on Thailand’s past with fleeing people.
She said, “I was saddened to meet a 21-year-old woman who was born in a refugee camp, who has never even been out of the camp and is now raising her own child in a camp. With no foreseeable chance that these refugees will soon be able to return to Burma (Myanmar), we must find some way to help them work and become self reliant.”
Her name has the word “angel” in it for a reason!
