Angelina Jolie Donates $75,000 To Girls' School In Afghanistan

angelina75k.jpg Angelina Jolie has donated $75,000 to a school for girls in eastern Afghanistan's Nangarhar province, according to UNHCR.

The school features eight classrooms, four administration buildings, a well and eight bathrooms, and it can accommodate up to 800 girls in two shifts. The academy was inaugurated last Thursday, and classes start on Monday.

Just 18 months ago, Jolie visited the settlement for refugee returnees and expressed concern about the lack of basic education facilities for children, so we're glad to see her taking some action.



Maybe Jennifer Aniston should donate a little bit too?

Love Ellen DeGeneres? Love Portia?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IT TAKES ONE SECOND TO DO!

Hey guys!!! Will you please Google " Save Better off Ted" and it should be the second or so link down at " go petition" and you don't have to register to sign it. It stars Ellen D's wifey Portia de Rossi. It's a great show, it just didn't get a good time slot, or good promotion. Thanks so much!!!!!

why can't she donate money without telling the world? if it really is from the heart you don't need to let everyone know about it unless you want it to be about you. just SAD AND NASTY!

If your going criticize AJ for leaking this out (and BTW how do you know it was her - do you have inside knowledge?) then you should do the same to all celebs who blow their own horn like Ms Oprah who tapes entire prime time specials on her school (sorry leadership academy) and invites her A-list friends to join the marketing (er enlightment sessions) or Madonna who invites half the world press along PLUS making sure it makes the rounds of all the top media outlets (with kids in tow). FYI Angelina built a girls academy I believe in Thailand under Maddox's name and it went unknown for a few years until last year...hmmm

It looks like this annoucement was made by the UNHCR for who she has been a long-time ambassador for. It's a way for them to bring attention to what they do and encourage others to who can to do the same. It also hilights some of the positive work they do in various areas like Afghanastan. Sorry, but there is more than one side here.

@10:12 AM, Get a life! and oh, while you're at it, find redemption! Much jealous! There are 2 kinds of people. Ones who accomplish things and others who sit and criticize without doing shit! She's helping people, what are you doing?
@10:48 AM, you're right on the money. Usually UNHCR and other agencies publish this information to motivate others to act as well as keep track of what's been done and what is going on.

She gets more and more unattractive every day. Pitt really blew it when he dumped Anniston for this hag. Anniston is better than Jolie in every category imaginable.

Can someone please tell me why we have to hear about every time this idiot or loser boyfriend donate money? WE DON"T CARE!!! Besides, $75,000? That's like any of us making a big deal and announcing that we gave $50 to chariy.Way to dig deep Angie!
And before a bunch of you jump down my throat that she donates to all kinds of charities and that this is just a small piece of what she does, let me repeat myself...Why do we have to hear about every time this child collector drops a dime in the bucket?

She should do something about educating her own kids especially the special needs kid Zahara.

Even Jennifer Aniston did an interview with Billy Bush about her support for a Mexican orphanage. Are you willing to throw her under the bus too.

Besides it looks like this was announced by UNHCR who is probably looking for more donations. THey use Jolie as a goodwill ambassador meaning they expect to be able to photograph her missions and use her assistance in getting out information as to what they do and what is needed to be done. So she fulfilled her duties with this as well as helped about 800 girls get to have an education who otherwise would have been denied.

she isn't the first celeb to donate money nor will she be the last. but she is the first to ALWAYS let you know she gave money. its not out of her control. she makes reporters and the hired help sign a confidentiality statements why not have the agency sign also before you give the money...if it is truly from the heart. there are so many people that give money but you do not hear them tooting their horn. own it! she is a fame W H O R E!
