Angelina Jolie Helps School In Afghanistan
A new primary school built with a $75,000 donation from Angelina Jolie has just opened in Tangi, Afghanistan.
Angelina donated the money about a year and a half ago, after making an emotional visit to the refugee settlement. The eight-classroom school will accommodate roughly 800 girls, whose parents are concerned about schooling them with boys for cultural and security reasons.
UNHCR, UNICEF, and local education authorities are currently working together to recruit teachers and buy textbooks for the students. They are also making plans to accommodate secondary school students at the same school in the future.

Thank God there are still kind-hearted people like that who stop to think about others too, who are not too blinded by their reachness and really help those in need. Thanks, Angelina!
