Angelina Jolie works her magic

We all know Angelina Jolie has made huge efforts in third world countries. I didn't realize, until after reading this article, how much people listen to her and how much she has and will do.

The article explains Jolie's visits to Washingtone D.C. to discuss the lack of education for children affected by the war in Iraq. I also did not know that Jolie was cochair of the Council of Foriegn Relations Center for Universal Education and the Education Partnership for children of conflict. Her work with these groups is tremendous.

In the article it sheds some light on Jolie's passion for ensuring education in international countries. It really is a blessing to have her working so hard because in the article it explains how much the other members respect her and how she holds their attention.

With more and more celebrities making an effort to help other countries we can only hope this trend will continue. Especially while some celebrities are promoting a negative image there are some like Jolie who are trying to be role models and make a difference to those who need it.
