Angelina Sets Up Her Own Organization In Cambodia
31 10 2006
Rumors are flying that Angelina Jolie has reneged on her agreement with Cambodian Vision and WildAid. The director in development, Mounh Sarath is slamming the actress, claiming she violated an agreement with the conservation group. In December, Angelina decided to terminate the contract with WildAid, who co-managed the project.
Since terminating the contract, Jolie has decided to form her own Cambodian Organization, named after her adopted Cambodian son, Maddox. The Maddox Jolie Project will oversee the conservation project for the Asian country. In 2003, Jolie promised $1.3 million dollars over a period of five years for the forest conservation program.
Jolie's political advisor and philanthropist, Trevor Neilson, made a statement saying "A decision was made to spend the money in a new way that would be more effective for the people of Cambodia. There was no reneging on any commitment. Angelina has been funding projects in Cambodia for the last three years and is commited to doing her part to improve the lives of the Cambodian people."
