Angelina Jolie continues her humanitarian efforts by calling on the government of Thailand to allow more freedom for thousands of Burmese refugees.
Jolie visited a refugee camp in Thailand on Wednesday as part of her work as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
"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," Jolie said in a statement.
"We must find some way to help them work and become self reliant," she added.
During the camp visit, Jolie also met with some teenage girls who said they are worried they might be sent back to Burma.
"I hope we can work with the Thai authorities to speed up the government admissions process and that you will not be forced to go back to Burma if danger remains," Jolie said.
Do you think Angelina's visit will help the Refugees?

Global Socialist wants to save world with middle class taxpayer money while adored by the mainstream media and the Dems.
she's so nice and beautiful!!
All my friends, hot and sincere people on ^^^^ Ageless Mate. Com ^^^^ are supporting her!! she rocks!! no matter wherever she goes!! LOL
She must be needing some "OSCAR" attention cause she is scouting out the planet for her next victim.
Somebody stop this CRAZY woman.
Is it a requirement to be a Corrupt United Nations Ambassador to be so beloved by media elites ???????
i think she is fantastic.
to above's quotes all the ugly words can not touch her beautiful actions.
6 kids, brad pitt, movies, visits to help.
it's 10.00 & i've just got up & i'm going back to bed. i'm exhausted just reading about it all.
that's what the above envy words really mean.
How is visiting a refugee camp in Thailand using middle class taxpayer money? You damn hillbilly republicans need to get a life
oh please she is absolutely posing instead of the focus on the poor the focus is on her i mean what a fake
Oh shit Samantha you are so right, I'm doing the same thing.
The focus is where the press puts it. A celeb can only go to the camp and talk about the issue, the press either focuses on the celeb or the issue, usually the press just focuses on the celeb.
Not their fault, but middle America likes looking at pictures of Angelina but doesn't give a rat's ass about Burmese orphans
Seriously, Ms. Jolie, do you even have idea of the relationship between Burma and Thailand? Do you have any idea of what kind of problems (drug traffic, for example) that came into Thailand via Burmese immigration? I don't know you personally, but I sure would like to remind you that the world is not as simple as you think...Thailand has their poor people, abandon children, and struggle economy to deal with. Thailand is not a couple of wealthy movie stars who can hop on a private jet and pick up another kid. Please think and educate yourself before you talk if you are serious about helping these people. I am not going to let you take my country and make it seems so ugly just to boost your media scheme.
Irrespective of whether you like Angelina Jolie or not, her humanitarian effort is commendable. There are plenty of celebrities who do a lot less.
Good for Angelina! Things must be done and she is working!
her visits make no practical or lasting difference to these people's lives, it is a demonstration of self congratulating conceit
I wish the nasty ass skank would move there.
This woman turns my stomach. She is such a FAKE.
10:10 1rst one... you dumbass who do you think funds the UN? Seems the "hillbilly" has more sense than you.
Our new Pres just signed off on a bill for the US to fund abortions world wide... being the humanitarian that he is ... that will eliminate the problem now won't it.
Oh my! a lot of people are such haters! keep criticizing her and you guys are not even doing anything for other people, cos most of you are sitting in the couch watching tv that's why america is FAT! before criticizing others, just look at yourselves first in the mirror..and think of how you will live your lives better. duh!
She is just shoppin around for another dirty ass kids she can parade around the cameras and drag around the world being raised from one nanny to another in one house to another! I cant stand this bitch I hope she get malaria or dysentery from being in one of these places.
She hasn't done this type of thing for awhile now, and it's Oscar time, so she has to make a trip and look good for the academy.
Don't usually comment but...she works my nerves. ugh!
She needs to stay at home & be a real mother to her kids, instead of increasing the children's jetlag episodes. Where is the sense of normalcy for these children? Stay at home & take care of the one's you have, and for crying out loud, try bathing yourself & your kids every now & then. The entire family looks dirty. So if it's not a photo-op, how'd the reporters know to be there? I agree with most, it's Oscar time!
There have been only four or five weeks in the last year that Jennifer Aniston is out promoting a movie. Funny how Saint Angie picks these weeks to go on her humanitarian self-congrats tour.
10:42 is right. None of her work has made a lasting difference, other than feeding her own publicity machine. There are celebs who do less, and lots who do way more. And some of them actually make a difference without all fo the press conferences and photo-ops. All of her oversees trips have done what exactly? Cambodia has just as many orphans, Afghanistan has just as many refugees, and so on and so on.
She uses this as a way to shop for the next kid, and try to improve her image. I can't stand the bitch..she has houses all over the world, takes private jets everywhere, and says how bad she feels about all the poverty in the world..she could sell one of her homes, that she hardly ever lives in, and feed a small third world country for a year...
IS SHE THERE TO STEAL MORE BABIES.
STICK WITH THE ONES YOU HAVE ALREADY, YOU HAVE 6 FUCKING CHILDREN, LOOK AFTER THEM AN D STOP FUCKING AROUND.
bloody hell it's a shark fest. this page. people seem to care & spite over all this.
i'm being kicked out with no country yet i choose to focus on this.
i think they might have to adopt me. somebody has to.
hillbilly republican i like it. they are the ones that only get rogered on the sunday so they get a bit mean.
fantastic for finding a camp where that woman & child are just forgotten.
we'll be slammin' pepsi down them & making them understnd t.v. & the importance of breasts.
but before all that we can give them rights to turn that crap away.
She needs to pack up brad and the 6 rugrats and just go away already. Perhaps she can use her own money to fund all these projects she is so fond of, lord knows she got paid enough for baby pics!
Ok well at least she is doing something that can be good. I think if you had hetr money you would be happy. leave the lady alone allready. If she wants to help let her people who don't like her why let her life bug you. If she was not so dame rich and so famous none one woul care. ( God Is On Her Side )
Did some of you who have commented above know the issues that are going on in the world other than what your media has shown you? All you know is what happens in your family and your pathetic complaints about how slow the traffic is or how boring the tv shows are. People like Angelina Jolie raise awareness by showing up to those places so that narrow minded ppl can at least know where Durfur or Burma is or how many people out there are starving while you can haul tons of food away from Costco in big ass trucks for your big fat families. Count your blessings, ppl and leave that woman alone if you don't even try to help a homeless in your own hometown. Bless those who shares and helps the poor.
She could sit and do nothing . But she gives and gives of herself and her own money. She loves children! She would not have a life as she has if she didnt love LOVE is Angelina
12:40PM, you are absolutely on the money...I am so sick of her masquerading as an ambassador! To what? Be a real mother to your out of control brats. She has taken these third world children, who use to be poor, and now that are rich little spoiled asses, who are becoming obsessed with vices such as jets, mansions, nannies, cameras, designer clothes. Hell, she could buy one of their villages with the money that she spends on jetsetting and purchasing homes and things. I hate these media whores, Angelina and Brad. Leave the country for good!!!
Two words...BABY SHOPPING! Oscar tactic, desperate whore!
Two words...BABY SHOPPING! Oscar tactic, desperate whore! Hate her!
Hey Samantha, put down the f*cking bong! You are babbling like an idiot. Please leave the building!
a lot of crazy people here
She's a do er. You gotta give credit where credit is due. She basically SAVED these children from third world country hell. She's using her money in a good way as far as I can see. God Bless her! More POWER to her! She's beautiful, but hardly a fake.
JA creeps go to her thread and speculate her life. If you can't stand angie get out here. Angie is Un amabasador she is doing improtnat thing here. Call it whatever you want she is not talking about her hair being gray and some kind useless crap. She is talking about improtant issues of the world.
By the way. She pays her own way on all these trips. She basically ripped little Zahara from the jaws of death. And the other kids were orphans as well. Not to mention, she save Brad from having a meaningless, superficial life. Hail! Angelina!
WTF with these obsess haters angelina has given more of her time and money to her humanitarian project than YOU people who done nothing but criticize people who are making a difference it this world. I bet you haters don't even give a cent to a homeless people in your communit.
i mean community
Angelina Jolie is using her fame in humanitarian ways. Why question her motives?
I hope she stays there.I'am tired of seeing pictures everywhere of her and Brad.Of course it is a photo-op. She wouldn't go there without having her picture taken. Oh,and it is Oscar time.
Just another photo-op. Do you really
think that going there for one day and
talking to a refugee is going to change
anything? Besides it always ends up
being more about her than the issues.
Think of all the money she spent flying
over for a few minutes, the cost of the
press, the guards and all the other things. The money could have been used
to feed the straving people anywhere in
the world. Kind of like the coporate
people using millions to fly all over.
Octomom and her 14 kids is just as delusional as jolie and even looks like a poor man's version of jolie........
Thai people are in trouble with economic crisis. Their people are basically very kind. Therefore, Jolie's opinion should be carefully considered.
Yes I think she is doing a wonderful job. It certainly is better than just thinking of yourself as some of the so call stars in Hollywood. I just wish people would leave Jolie and Pitt alone. Every move some one has to say something nasty. Just remember three of the children would be in some form of a home with no future, now they have a very good future. So all you ill speaking people get a life.
I love how my tax payer dollars are going to fund her Oscar purpose.
She's such a hypocrite.
I understand how Thai people and Thai government feel. You have own issue in your country. As Burmese citizen, I don't blame on other countries. I just blame on this stupid Burmese military government. Not only Karen or Rohinyga, EVERYONE (all races) in Burma are living in the hell. Pls not criticize to Ms. Joile. She just does her job. I read in her statement that she appreciates Thailand for accepting Karen 110,000 refugees. I’m too gratitude Thailand for helping those refugees. As human, we need to help (if you can) to another poor human being. My request is NOT as your responsibility, just only as your sympathy. Burma needs help from not only from Thailand but also from all over the world (politically). I wish my country free from all these troubles by Iron fists government and live in decent life (not share problems to the neighbor countries like Thailand). That will be good for Burma as well as the whole region. That’s true that all these issues in crisis countries are quite complicated. We need strong and good people like Ms. Joile. God bless you all.

She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site """"" B i l l i o n a i r e P a l . c o m """"""" last week. I
am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now?
This is an OLD Pic Folks!!!!!
I admire Angie for her humanitarian work. She truly does a marvelous work by going to those refugee camps. That shows she really cares about these people. And even Brad accompanied her to this trip to Thailand. That shows he too is genuinely interested in her work. He isn´t just following her to keep an eye on her. They both are true humanitarians who aren´t doing this as a publicity stunt. They truly care about these people. They and their children have everything in the world but these poor refugees have lost everything. So stop judging Brad and Angie, haters! They truly want to help these people!
I hate this girl she is just a fat ass that needs a slap across the face. All she did was make Brad Pitt cheat on Jenifer Aniston why are you all praising this whore bitch.
3:06, I agree with everything that you said, except "fat ass." I think that you mean, "flat ass!" Angelina, is so skinny, you can see her bones...it is really disgusting. If she cared about children, she would be nurturing her own brats, and not looking for a photo opportunity to heighten her chances for an oscar that she truly does not deserve. She and Brad should just raise their illegitimate children. All of whom do not have names through marriage. I am appalled that she presents herself as a saint. However, her (and Brad's) fans have cult mentalities, so I am not too surprised.
poor comments...always like that...but still you're reading her news and articles? why? because all of you adore her.. admit it... if you hate someone, are you interested to whatever they are doing? wow! if I were you instead of saying something bad about her, try to look at yourself first if you dont have any dirt on your face and do something good. you're all worthless, pointless.. mind your own..ok? try to figure out yourself. everything in this world are nothing! just live life. enjoy and leave angelina and her family alone. ok? we adore her not because of evrything, we adore her as a human not an animal like any hollywood star does.
she's doing her best to be a better woman and mother now as well as humanitarian..
All of these photo ops will not change what she is, and that is a whore! She is a terrible mother, and I hope she and Brad realize neither one was good enough to win an oscar. I love it when they show them lose. I especially enjoyed it when Anne Hathaway won and Jole showed her true colors. They both need to stop making movies because there are talented actors out there that could play the same roles far better. Please stay home with your six kids and take care of them, and give them the attention and stability they need. Did you see the picture of them in the airport. All four of the older children looked miserable.
Two days ago, two Burmese men were raping and killed a Thai college student. They broke in to her apartment and killed her. Too many incidents like this had happened in Thailand. Lot of them are thief, murderers. They are not appreciated the Thais who are helping them. If Angela Jolie wants to help them, bring them to the US or UK. You guys have a bigger and richer countries right? Do not come in to my country and criticized us. We have been nothing but helpful to these people. We are a poor country and in the crisis, we need to focus on our people first. All your kind Americans, bring them to your country, we will be more than happy to put them in Angela private jet and send them over. Well we guess you guys don’t want them either. God bless my beloved country…. Thailand

My heart goes for innocent victims from Thailand as well as all innocent good Burmese people who live under cruel government. We all are victims. Those BAD evil people who did crime in other countries are live in extreme poverty and brought up under the government that don’t give them proper education (not only academic education but also moral knowledge) and opportunity for proper living. Burmese kills Thai or Indonesian kills Malaysian or Thai kills Malaysian are part of the problem of poverty. These issues are also happened in the whole Asean region. While one country is in live peace and wealth, there is less negative wave toward neighbor countries. That can create region stability and wealth. All the governments of (China, India, Russia as well as Thai government itself) who are making trade with Burmese Military government should stop their actions. That’s one of the reason this Military regime still can survive and keep pressing on own people. There is no point to hate between Thai nationalities between Burmese. People who did those crimes are just bad as they are, not represent to country or the whole citizen. Good people act in good manner or bad people did bad things, no matter which country you come from. When “Nazi” system almost growth in the world, all countries fought together for that. We just have to criticize toward any government who mistreat to own people and spread negative effect toward other countries. Not to criticize each other as we are victims in different way. Again, we need strong and good people as Ms.Joile as she is the ray of light for the million of innocent people who don’t have voice and live under darkness. God bless you all..Burma

Just a lot of political rhetoric, Burma, Thai...Face it, Jolie is experiencing self-gratification by exploiting these third world countries and their children. It is, what it is! She does not care about being a light for the million of innocent, voiceless people, she cares about her anorexic self. No one is criticizing, they are only stating facts about this woman! There is nothing good about ADULTERY, for which she claims is the reason that she hates her father. The bitch is a hypocrite...wake up and smell the pasta!
Comments between Thai and Burma are serious discussions. Not inculde for 12 yrs old school kid who only interested in celebrity personl life. Go back school and study hard the fact that Asian don't care about pasta. Wake up and smell the tom yam!
just like yo ol love her hate her thats what you will get from others too,well if u didnt know angelina is fine and great, she is supporting what you others cant do or wont do and why is that yo al know is abortion and leaving babies on door steps please atleast thank her and stop talking shit about her.and i heard obama said yes to abortion so what next?we gona get many angelinas or many other un-angelinas????
Thai and Burma...take your comments to the United Nations. In case you don't realize it, this is a site about a celebrity's personal life, so you need to take a hike! Tom yam stinks!
This woman is the greatest phoney ever
When will members of Angelina cult wake up and stop worshiping this media whore?
GOD BLESS U JOLI
Angelina looks like a freak eeeew
