Angelina Jolie Celebrates Ten Years Of Service At The UN
Posted on Tue Oct 4, 2011 08:30 AM PDT
Angelina Jolie, 36, marked her 10th year as a UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) goodwill ambassador on Monday with a surprise appearance in Geneva, Switzerland.
During her tenure, she's made more than 40 visits to troubled spots around the world.
At the event in Geneva, she presented Yemen's Society for Humantiarianism Solidarity and its founder, Nasser Salim Ali Al-Hamair, with an award. Said Jolie:
- "I’m so grateful – I don’t want to cry – to the refugee families that I have the honor and privilege to spend the last years with. From them I’ve learned so much. I’ve learned to become a better person, a better mother."
The actress also told reporters she's considering taking on a new role at the UN.
She said nothing has been decided, but one possibility is that she'll become a special envoy to Afghans fleeing for Pakistan and Iran, which host some 2.7 million Afghan refugees. -- Photo Courtesy of Getty

I love Angelina, she is not only stunning but such an intellingent and kind person. People can whatever they want about her but she is one of the few famous people who puts so much time, energy, money and efforts to make the world better!
Oh sit down, you tired old whore. Even Geri Haliwell of the Spice Girls is a UN rep. Anyone can do it.
Love Her!! So inspiring and wonderful!!!
Celebrities don't make a scrap of difference to anything.
She is way too thin. I wonder if it's from an eating disorder or from Heroin addiction. Being that thin makes her head look too big for her body. Not attractive at all.
Look at those heroin veins in her arms.
I wonder when the U.N. will have an awards show for all of their sleazy scandals.
The prize for the most messed up U.N. scandal goes to....
Oil for Food
U.N. workers sexual harassing poor people in Africa
Setting aside $25 million for Darfur and then spending the first few million buying new U.N. helmets.
Oh, so many choices.
She looks really thin, eat a cupcake girl!
UGLY FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGLY FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGLY FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGLY FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGLY FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish she actually cared :( its all for the cameras...Her past tells everything on her character.She just takes pictures thats all she does and that's it.Do you think she actually cares? She wants money and power thats it.God bless all of you guys...
Overly dramatic and she didn't memorize her script so she stumbled. Just way too contrived...
AMAZING WOMAN!
THE BEST AMAZING WOMAN IN THE USA!
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER!
ANGIE, YOU ARE THE BEST! GO ON WITIH YOUR SUCCESS!
Oh, Please. This woman is the biggest wanker in showbiz.
How about giving credit to the ones that actually make it work. The hands on people that expect nothing in return. All this woman does is talk, and accept undue credit, while others do all the work.
May God bless you Angelina Jolie, and grant you sucess, love, peace and happiness. May the Lord protec you from enemies and the horror of the hate.
Why doesn't she help people in the USA, to whom she should be grateful for her career.
Why am I so tired of this woman?
