Brangelina Has Pledged 1 Million For The Children In Iraq

The couples are committed to the generosity through their amount Jolie-Pitt Foundation which will be shared by four organizations that are working to provide education and support for children who lost their parents, homes and opportunities for schooling in Iraq and children of American soldiers who are long deployment, injured or dead. "Brangelina" - or Hollywood's favorite couple. For now, it seems life could not get much better for both. Here we trace their respective histories. United Nations Ambassador Angelina Jolie - who visited Iraq twice last year to see the devastation caused by the war - said: "These programs support education for children in conflict are the best way to help to heal.” Brad added: "We want to encourage others to give these large organizations."

Admiral Frank Gallo, national director of the Armed Forces YMCA, a charity that will receive a portion of the money, said: "The contribution of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation is a major boost to our efforts to serve children of our brave members of the USA Armed Services who are involved in our current conflict.”

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has already submitted a similar amount to humanitarian groups Doctors Without Borders and Global Action for Children, as well as charities helping people in the crisis region of Africa in Darfur.

The couple - expecting twins - have adopted three children, born cambodian Maddox, six, four years Pax from Vietnam, three-year Ethiopian-born Zahara and two years, biological daughter Shiloh.
