Namibian School Says Thank You To Pitt and Jolie
Last year’s Namibian trip for the family netted a sweet gift for one Namibian school. The gift of $15K was most appreciated:
On Friday, staff members of the modest, privately run DRC School officially thanked the celebrity couple in their absence, while the young pupils eagerly unpacked the crates of books that were bought with the money.
“Their donation … helps to ensure that over 30 children will be able to receive an education through this project in the upcoming year,” said Ivanna Iafigliola-Kriner, who founded the project along with her husband, Mike.
