Angelina’s Good Works
This just in from AlertNet.org:
There was an atmosphere of joy and jubilation in Largo refugee camp last week when 50 Liberian refugee women each received a sewing machine after successfully completing a sewing skills course, funded by UNHCR’s goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie.
“Today, our dreams have come true and for this we are very grateful. When we came to the camp, we did not know anything. But, with the skills that we have learned, we now know how to sew both for children and adults, we can return to Liberia and will be able to do something on our own,” said Sangay Kawala on behalf of the trainees. At the graduation ceremony the refugees sang songs in praise of Angelina Jolie and UNHCR. The Goodwill Ambassador donated the funds for the sewing courses in four refugee camps in Sierra Leone, including buying some of the sewing machines distributed to participants.
Say what you like about Angelina Jolie, but she has a very good heart. I would love to see Brad and Angelina focus a little more on some of the needs of their homeland, but truly, these people are in such desperate need it is hard to criticize anyone for helping them.

I originate from one of these countries that The Jolie/Pitt Team is helping. Thanks to God that someone is not only speaking, but undertaking genuine activities to ensue results. Dealing directly with the people is the most efficient way to solve human problems. Thank you for the information. I share the joy of the graduates of Largo Camp. I would have addressed Angie a personal letter long ago if I had had her address.
Thank you Christina. You are doing fine. Don’t stop
Yours sincerely.
