Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt continue their humanitarian quest by donating $2 million dollars to a children’s health center in Ethiopa.
“Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease.”
- Angelina Jolie, Zimbabwe Star

The Pros vs Cons of the Jolie-Pitt duo
CON: Mucho publicity for their humanitarian efforts.
Rebuttal: Way too many people love them. Now, if they were like Herb Alpert (#2) Barbra Streisand (#3), Paul Newman (#4), Mel Gibson (#5)…need I say more?
PRO: 2 million dollars worth of education, medicine, etc
1) The quest to abolish TB from this life, much like polio
2) HIV/AIDS continue to be treated and maintained
Now, if they can give $2 million, surely, you’re able to donate at least $2 to a worthy cause. If you don’t even donate a penny, don’t say anything bad because you don’t really have a right to, do you? (Note: Donating to yourself, your children, family members, and friends do not count. Jolie-Pitt are trying to change an entire society, a large community, not just their own. An entirely different playing field, buddy.)
