Angelina Jolie is no stranger to the issues that under-developed or developing countries are having. She has been active in helping these countries for years. Also, Angelina adopted 3 children from 3 different countries.

She attended a press conference on Thursday in Washington D.C. to announce the launch of Global Action for Children, a group that raises money for orphans in developing countries according to People.

"I am here to simply ask you to think about orphaned children not as a burden but as a great opportunity," Jolie said at the event. "Their education is an investment in our future. … They have had to work very, very hard to survive, but when they are given a chance, they grow strong, stronger than most. … The Lost Boys of Sudan are a great example."

According to GAC's executive director, Jennifer Delaney, the event went very well and there was receptiveness to the issue. Brad and Angelina strongly believe in GAC. They gave $1 million to the cause last year.
