Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donate $100,000 for Clinic in Sudan
According to the PR Newswire, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have made a donation through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to Direct Change. Direct Change is an organization that builds grassroots financial support for community based African projects.
The donation will support the final stages of the construction of The Duk Lost Boys Clinic which will be the first modern medical facility in Duk County, Sudan. It will also go towards their ongoing operations after it opens in late Spring. The clinic is expected to serve more than 150,000 people.
John Dau, Direct Change’s Sudan Project director had this to say:
“Words can not express my gratitude and gratitude of the people of Duk
County Sudan. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt demonstrate the
American spirit of generosity. Hopefully, their donation will inspire
others to join with us to rebuild southern Sudan.”
As for how Angelina and Brad got involved, the article says:
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, an Executive Producer of Christopher
Quinn’s film God Grew Tired of Us, learned of John’s effort to build the
Duk Lost Boys Clinic at the Hollywood premiere of the film in January. The
film, a National Geographic Production, is distributed by Newmarket Films
and is showing in theaters around the country.

$100K bet that is the amount Hello Magazine must have paid for the Pax photos - B&A would naturally give it to a good cause. Very cool

I love that they spend so much time and money in third world countries, but what about the United States of America. I teach on the Southside of Chicago, and tragedies are unfolding there every second. I hope everyone got to watch Anderson Cooper’s program special on how 28 students in Chicago Public Schools were murdered in one school year. What is going on? And the bigger question I want to pose is why do we ignore our children here? There are children who don’t value their own lives anymore. I will love for Brad and Angelina to come to the Southside of Chicago, and make a change there.
