Angelina Plans To Build AIDS Center

Being a new mom isn’t slowing down Angelina Jolie because she just announced plans on building an AIDS clinic in Ethiopia. She is building the center for her daughter Zahara so she can manage it when she grows up.

Angie plans on making a trip to Ethiopia in order to discuss details of the centre, which will be part of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

She says, "We will be building a TB (tuberculosis)/AIDs clinic in Ethiopia. One we plan for Zahara to take over when she is older.

Not only will she be doing charity work in Ethiopia, she will also be visiting Asia once the twins are more settled. She adds, "The next trip for our foundation will most likely to be Asia to follow up on the situation in Burma and our work in Cambodia. The boys have been asking to go so we will take them when Knox and Viv are a little bit older."

Angie seems to work harder every time she has a new kid. This woman is unstoppable!

" we'll take them when they're a little bit older" , translation: They will be on a flight as soon as Angie recovers from her c-section! And what makes her think that zahara will want to run an AIDS clinic in Africa? Pretty high expectations for someone who is only 3 years old.

shut up

K you're an idiot, she is only 3 and they are trying to build a future for her in her home country. It is ignorant that you would mention they will be on a plane as soon as she recovers because first its not your business and second there is not health wrisk for the babies to travel so young.

angela

she is so boring!!

shut up should SHUT UP!! Wow the idiocy never ends. No health risk for newborns to travel to foreign countries like Africa? WRONG! As for having a C-section again you are wrong wrong wrong. Zahara running an AIDS clinic?....Perhaps they should allow that little girl to decide her own future. Or maybe its in their plan to ship her back there eventually, after all we all KNOW how bi-polar Angelina's decisions are. Do you have a brain? Not that it will stop you from spewing your micro-babble. Eeeek this is a freaking BLOG!!!!! Opinions are most certainly the topic here so if you can't deal with it then move along....

First off, they are her children to travel or not travel with as she see's fit. Second, what she is doing is setting up a piece of history and heritage for Z, with the hopes she will want to take over. She is not an idiot she knows Z will need to make her own choice. Believe it or not but these types of things are encouraged by Foster care systems in States all over. They give us tips on how best to keep our foster kids relating to their heritage and history. So dont go calling people idiots or stupid for doing the very thing your state foster care systems encourage foster parents to do when they have children of different cultures come into their homes.

Thanks Yeti! Yeah, "SHUT UP", sounds like a real winner. My jaw dropped when I read the crap about there being no health risks to newborns to fly! WOW - you've got to be crazy or without children to think that way. It's common sense that newborns have weaker immune systems and that they are susceptible to picking up all sorts of germs and disease. On top of that, can you imagine these infants dealing with their ears popping while flying on a jet!?Some people need to read a freakin' book or atleast google things they know NOTHING about. When she's older she can run an AIDS clinic? Is that how long it will take before she ever gets to meet her biological mother who didn't die!?

Bingo! Thats the one item no one on here can handle discussing. Angelina didn't adopt an orphan. She BOUGHT a child. Somewhere out there Zahara's mother (and grandmother) are missing that little girl because she had to choose between keeping her child and trying to survive or letting Angie BUY her. Why didn't Angelina just give this mother(grandmother) some money to take care of Zahara? I mean really, where was Angie's big humanitarian heart? OH YEAH up her a**. Angelina was about taking another woman's child and trying to convince everyone that SHE is a mommy. It takes more than stealing children and birthing a few to be a mother-especially when you dump them off with nannies unless there is a camera around.

it does seem like AJ is already planning on "returning" one of her kids - Z. being raised in france will not really connect the kid to her culture. so what does she have planned for the white kids?

oh movies - that's right i forgot - shiloh was in brad's movie - curious case of benjamim button straight to DVD.

Almanac

...According to The Omniverse Almanac, Johnny Depp is actually one of the few very cool people inhabiting this planet, along with Steven Splielberg, Riccardo Mariti, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, Angelina Jolie, Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawkings, Laurence Dale, the Dalai Lama...

Please remember etiquette when doing blogs. It's fun to read other people's opinions but not when they are crude and angry. Zahara is the daughter of wealthy American movie stars. It doesn't seem likely that she will grow up identifying with Ethiopia. Also, her mother voluntarily put her in an orphanage and prefers that she is raised by Americans who can provide well for her. That's what she has said.

Is it too much to ask that people understand that MAYBE this couple would like to raise responsible well-developed kids, unlike the paris hiltons and britney spears of the world. Kids who would become people that actually would want to do somethimg great and meaningful with their lives, willing to give back to their countries the way their parents have. As for Angelina I think she is one of the few persons on the right track not only as a parent but also as an ambassador and an independent woman. She and Brad are well-suited and make an awesome couple. They only seem to bring out the best in each other. As for all the hate she seems to be getting it only seems to make her stronger and wiser which I greatly admire and is what makes most great people. -shayj, Bah

As a parent of adult children, I can tell you that you cannot plan out their lives. Maybe you can manipulate a 3 year old, but you certainly cannot do that with a 23 year old.

When these hot shots do anything thoughtful, they are really doing it for themselves.

I wonder when Angie will run for president. She does as much traveling as Obama.

JenFan

I agree. She does that and more a** kissing than anyone else on the planet.

Angelina&Brad is my POWER COUPLE

All of the people who have bad things to say about angelina & brad are HUGE Jennifer Aniston fans. YOU STILL ARE IN DENIAL THAT BRAD CHOSE a Beautiful, loving, woman over a piece of wood. I agree the twins are too young to fly, I'm sure she knows when they will be able to fly are we all forgetting she has 6 children. NONE of them are handicap from flying with both of the parents. These two are very passionate about what they are doing for their children. She built a center for her 3 year old, but all along she has been taking zahara with her everywhere. traveling the world. I'm sure zahara will have the same passion for ethiopia as her parents, and will want to carry on what they are both doing because she was raised this way. It's just like if you were raised to go to church. when you get older with your own family You also will keep going to church. You were raised to praise the lord and nothing else. Now if her child grows up , and hates the world, then she will be able to make a choice to either keep what her parents left for her , or to sell it. IT's hers she can do what she want's with it. SHe will have so much MONEY by the time she is a adult she will probably hire someone to run the place while she just checks in everynow and then to make sure supplies, and the people are all in good standing. MY Opinion..

I think she is a good mom and she has a successful career. I think that's why she has so many fans at the millionaire&celebrity dating club Seekwealthy.com. Every time I logged on the site so many people are discussing her about her latest news.
