Angelina Jolie at the National Geographic Museum

Angelina Jolie headed to the National Geographic Museum after arriving in Washington, D.C.

She took part in a World Refugee Day conference, then spoke to the audience, addressing the fact that leading world countries need to step up and help refugees to either obtain asylum during times of tragedy or to help them safely make their way back home.

I’m hoping to find video footage of her speech; I’ll put it up if and when I do.

(edit: we’re currently experiencing a problem with the comments and I apologize for the frustration – the tech team is trying to resolve it right now. Please feel free to continue to comment, because they actually are going through, they just aren’t showing up at the moment but they will appear as soon as tech gets things sorted out. I’m sorry for the problems!)

More photos of Angelina Jolie at the National Geographic Museum below the cut!

    Thanks for the great posts you have included, I’m reading Angelina’s Notes from my Travels and I’m much more aware of the situation, it is amazing all the work volunteers do. I’m going to make a donation for the UNHCR, that’s how I plan to honor the refugees day.

    these photos speak volumes don’t they? here is Angie doing what’s ‘close to her heart’, and what we see is her natural caring committment and total immersement in this cause. She’s dressed very ‘low profile’ cos she doesnt want this to be about her and her being a glamorous actress / voted the most beautiful etc. This is what makes her so special to those of us who believe in her. Go Angie go; you’re doing a fantastic job, and it’s such an incredibly important cause you are supporting.
