It starts with a simple request with Angelina Jolie pleading, “Please don’t turn away”. With World Refugee Day coming up on June 20th, Angie recorded a new PSA for the UNHCR, reminding people that the plight of refugees is ongoing.
Angelina asks us not to forget them, the “most vulnerable people on Earth”. The UNHCR has been my personal charitable organization of choice for years now. On the 20th I’ll be thinking of refugees around the world and thanking Angelina Jolie for being such a tireless champion of refugee needs and rights and for using her extreme fame to draw attention to the people who most deserve it.
I’m monitoring the activities of Angie with the UNHCR, and I hope the world will unite and help those people in need through Angelina.Keep on your good works Angie.
I received an email today from UNHCR about their World Refugee Day activities. The information below was included. It gives a specific time for Angie’s interview on June 18th.
Watch Anderson Cooper’s CNN interview – Thursday, June 18th at 10PM EST – with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie.
Thanks Sherry for this thread.
I feel so sorry for all of the refugees. We can not even imagine what life is like for them. Angie does a wonderful job, beautiful voice.
Mary Ann, I had exactly the same feeling as you did when I watched the video. Angie’s voice really touches our hearts.
I will do my part on the World Refugee Day!
Thanks, Sherry for posting the video.
Deep down you can sense the sincerity & dedication from her heart.God bless you Angie & your family.
OMG!!! She has a good heart and very beautiful! Could I ask for more?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still pretty cool in the eyes of teens.
The two picked up two 2009 Teen Choice Awards.
Pitt is up for “Choice Movie Star: Drama” for his role as a man aging backwards in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He faces off against Hugh Jackman (Australia); Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire); Robert Pattinson (Twilight) and Channing Tatum (Fighting).

I admired her humanitarian works.May GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ANGIE.
I just saw the ad here in Panama…She looks great and I think it’s awesome she’s using her stardom for a good cause!
We have a lot of Colombian refugees here, and it’s HARD for them, so good on her!
i really love these videos angie made for refugees day. could you please the one of last year sherry? it was such a beautiful video!
She did a great job. Very moving and inspiring. Does anyone know where I can watch the event she’s hosting on Thursday?
All the best to Angie & Family.God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
Thank you for this video, Sherry! It´s very touching. It´s great to see how dedicated Angie is to this cause. There are millions of refugees all around the world for whom Angie is doing a marvellous job by defending their rights. As a mother she sure feels a lot for those families who have absolutely nothing and have to live in the refugee camps. She sure is very touched when she meets children and their families who were forced out of their home countries for one reason or the other. She and also Brad are doing their best to help these people who deserve to be remembered every day. Still it´s great that there is an official World Refugee Day arranged by UN. God bless Angelina and her beautiful family always! Keep up the good work, Angie!
Angelina never stop helping the less fortunate. Refugees need so much help, thanks to her for doing what she can, by bringing attention to thier need for protection.
Doing good in this world will not stop other from saying bad things about you, but it will bring passion and peace to your soul, while others are tormented.
Thanks, Sherry. Very moving! Angelina is a good person! God bless her and her family!
Truly an amazing woman!!!
Thank you for the video Sherry!!!It was really moving!
its a very moving vid…..she did a good job.
Thank you for putting up a thread on this PSA. I like it. How true it takes so little for anyone of us to become a refugee. Thanks to a good education, I’ve always been able to find a place to welcome me when being an immigrant Chinese became a bit of a liability in some countries in South East Asia. Yet, a lot of my not being a refugee was due to God’s grace.
She does a great job and inspires us to look for a way to help.
Wow, just the sound of her voice sends shivers up my spine. She is so moving in this plea.
