Angelina Jolie emerged over the weekend to continue her work as UN Goodwill Ambassador, this time with a trip to a Somalian refugee camp in Dadaab, Kenya, on Saturday. Her visit was scheduled to draw public attention to the area, where men, women, and children are living in horrible conditions. Angelina has been laying low with her family in France, but she keeps her philanthropic work a priority in her life with frequent trips to areas she feels need attention. While in Kenya she listened to people's stories throughout the day, and spoke out on their behalf to the media.
Love her! PS you are late to reporting this.
1Please stay home (whever that is) and raise your kids and eat something. If you wanted to spend all your time saving the world you shouldn't have had and adopted all those kids.
2Ang, you look absolutely sick... you have relaly lost that look you once had, not sure if you need to eat more but you don't look so great
3She's a great role model for us.
4Awwwwwwww I love seeing Angelina in her element. Nothing warms my heart than seeuing her helping the people who need it the most. I am always so proud of her. Love you, Angie.
5ANGELINA JOLIE A WONDERFUL WOMAN. I AM GLAD TO SEE HER SO DEVOTED TO HELP REFUGEES ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Top List of Hollywood Heroes in the Guinness World Records(R) 2010 Edition
From Most Powerful Actress to Most Razzie Nominations, New Guinness World
Records Book Tags Tinseltown's Hottest Celebrities
Some of the new records revealed in this year's Guinness World Records 2010
edition include a top spot for one of the industry's most bankable stars,
Angelina Jolie, who claims the title as "Most Powerful Actress"*. This is
Jolie's second year at the top spot, she held the title last year with her
beau Brad Pitt. The tide has turned for Pitt though, with Johnny Depp
reclaiming the title of "Most Powerful Actor"* based on his most recent films
including the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
"From wizards and superheroes to vampires and Vulcans, this was a fantastic
7decade for Hollywood and Guinness World Records was there to capture it all,"
said Craig Glenday, Editor-In-Chief, Guinness World Records. "If you want to
get a glimpse beyond the tabloids to learn about your favorite celebs or
happen to be a pop-culture trivia buff, this year's book is the ultimate
compendium of Hollywood facts and figures
Good to see her living by example. It's not easy to juggle career, family life and philanthropy, but clearly she is very committed to make the time.
8There is one only Angelina Jolie.She is unique.
9I love herrrrrr
10it's very easy to juggle kids, career, fake humanitarian work when you have a huge team of people helping you out.
11she looks REALLY skinny here. i wonder why that is? anyway, i guess it's a good thing that she's keeping up with her philanthropic stuff.
12I disagree anonymous #12. Juggling family, career and philanthropy, even with help. is much tougher than say... sitting around anonymously criticizing people who actually make an effort. Being a nameless coward taking cheap shots on the internet at people for trying to help others is much, much easier.
13That boy in the red and blue shirt breaks my heart. Good for Angelina.
14She's an inspiring woman.
15ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh ginger you are soooooooo tough.
16HATERS NEED TO TAKE LESSON FROM ANGIE.
17Angelina has conduted herself with class and dignity.
18Could you image other actresses hanging out with those people?I can't image that!
19no fake hair, no make up artist, no bull sh*t, just a real person connecting with other real people,
and people want to talk about how skinny she is?
For once can we just say this woman is unlike any other?
20Oh wait, she is a homewrecker, I guess I have to hate her.
21She is doing nothing that is more special or more dedicated then the thousands of people doing the same thing every day all over the world - the only thing that makes people see her is the camera. What about the people who give up months of their lives, not just a few hours? The volunteers who actually live in the villages, not fly in and stay at the nearest 5 star hotel.
Yes she's doing a nice thing, but it's nothing all that special when you look at the big picture.
22I'm not a fan of her film work or the way she conducts her Hollywood life but on a more humanistic note, there's no denying that she's done and still doing some great things. However, I do think that she needs to start and end each day with a nice hearty meal if she intends to continue raising her family and helping these unfortunate people.
23I kind of have to agree with Anon 23 but I guess the difference would be that she has the "star power" to bring awareness to these otherwise ignored issues.
24*Ops...I meant Anon 22
25I applaud her good deeds with the less fortunate.
26save the world, the children, cover the neck (and arms if possible)...she seriously has the neck of my Nana, and she's like 70 something
27well I guess she is aging a bit more then some of her peers because her mission in life is not staying tan and having her hair done and going to yoga.
28Some of these comments have nothing to do with her agenda and mission. The purpose of this thread is to bring attention to the plight of hundreds of thousand of displaced human beings that have been all but forgotten. They are all human just like us. Most of us live a very comfortable life opposed to famine, disease and hunger. All of the minute things that we take for granted are missing from their everyday lives. Women and children are dying every second due to water shortage, malnutrition due to a corrupt and an inefficient goverment. Some comments are more concern with Angelinas weight, diet and overall apperance. The big picture is this; She is doing something possitive, constructive and to bring awearness to these deplorable conditions.
These reason Angelina can stay in a 5 star hotel is because she can, don't use that as a negative for an otherwise great endevour. Be more positive.
Pop why don't you add the other comments from the "Photo" section. Why are you doubling up?
29Ginger, it also would be easier if I could fly there on my private jet and then return to my 40 million dollar mansion all in the same day. I guess that is not going to happen so I will just continue doing my good deads locally.
30#30 good for you, to do what you can do locally. Jealousy is not a good quality to have.
31This visit is just another "project" and "public statement" and that is self-serving and full of agenda.
32those who think saint angieho lives anything but a life of complete luxury are morons.
33Angelina has done some wonderful charity work. She is talented, beautiful and most of all, a kind heart.
34If you think there's 'nothing to it'... I'd love to drop your ass off in that village and see if the picture's worth it.
35I'm not sure calling attention to it is doing much good.
36Billions have been sent there and I'm not sure it is
helping the people that really need the help. Madonna
and Mia have both been doing this for a long time and
they spend a lot more time there, yet we very seldom
even here about Mia. At any rate right at the present
time the USA is in need of a lot of help too. When
job benifits run out and Social Security and Medicare
who is going to care for all those people. Planning
a little ahead might help all the people living in
tents here and not having enough food. You can always
find someone to help if you are looking.
i bet what mangie's wearing cost more than these people make in a lifetime.
37it never changes with her critics. Good thing she could care less if people like her or not.
She could be living in complete luxury without a care in the world, yet she chooses to go to these war torn areas to hightlight the plight of the woman/children refugees and has been doing so for almost 10 years...
I am a proud fan.
38i swear i used to love her for all this that she did, but now i just cant sense genuineness in her work anymore (also i read the book deadaid) .. i know know she doesnt need publicity and doesnt need to travel half way across the world to get her picture taken, but what makes her look better- a dinner trip with brad pitt or talking to refugees in a poor country and shooting them pitiful looks?
i hate to be so cynical but i really just cant seem to put the two angelinas back together anymore, and yes i am glad that donations go up etc, obvs these people deserve attention, its her that i am not so sure about
39She's a good person. Have no idea about her agenda or what but she's doing some good work. Of course she has the resources, time and the fame to be able to do it. People care when Jolie cares. Thankfully she is willing to put in the time and money to do it.
40Of course,it appears she no longer cares to embrace her hotness. She looks ill.
why should she not live a life of luxury?
She earned every penny.
What she does that sets her apart is that she actually has a genuine interest in helping these people.
She was doing this before it was "in style to get photo opps "
41Here we HAVE a voice. Your reprentatives, if you vote, is your voice. All the demonstrations that are going on here is the by product of dissent that something is not working in our present goverment. If you get involved your voice will be heard. If you decide to sit back and let some else take that up the baton, we will certainly be in trouble.
In Kenya and Somalia the general population have no voice and the goverment does not even exist or is terribly corrup. Years of civil war, terrorism have created an abhorrent situation. Modonna has not inspired the international community to do what it needs to be done. Mia Farrow on the other hand, has done a lot but gossip and other nagative personal news backlashed her causes.
42Angelina has not inspired the "international community" to do what needs to be done either.
43if people cared when jolie cares, i think she'd be far more effective that she has been. she has had NO impact whatsoever.
44I wonder if she asked if they could get that hat in black.
45There will always be sides to this debate. If one thinks that Ms. Jolie "work" is for the greater good and deserve praise and admiration so be it. On the other hand if you dislike her as a person, actor or anything else nothing she does will change your mind. Plain and simple.
46I can't find anything wrong with anything she's doing in these pictures.
47"I can't find anything wrong with anything she's doing in these pictures."
Well, since we don't know her motives it's hard to judge. But I cannot see anything extremely good there either. I am not moved whatsoever by these pictures. I'd much prefer to see these people sans the celebrity!
48Angelina is a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR. The United Nations High Commissioner for REFUGEES. Billions haven't been sent to refugees. Quite the contrary. Any goodwill ambassador is supposed to being awareness though their activities. If you don't want to see the refugees or AJ with the refugees what are you doing on this thread?
49WOW! Who needs thsi crap let's get back to the all important news from Fashion Week.
