Angelina Jolie has made the world a better place, one deed at a time

For years Angelina Jolie has led a double life as one of Hollywood’s most prestigious actresses and secondly, as a philanthropist recognized for her extensive charity work. Over the weekend, the A-Lister stepped out for yet another important cause. On Saturday, June 8, 2019, the 44-year-old visited a refugee camp at the border of Venezuela in Maicao, Colombia where she was all smiles during the reopening between the two countries. The mother-of-six spent the afternoon greeting children and meeting with parents.

The Oscar-winning actress also met with the President of Colombia, Ivan Duque to advocate for the children of Venezuelan immigrants, who were left in limbo after their parents fled from the country’s social-economic crisis.
