UNHCR GOODWILL AMBASSADOR ANGELINA JOLIE (MaximsNews.com, U.N.)

ANGELINA JOLIE, on an earlier two-day visit to New Delhi, visited a refugee woman from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) in the one-room home she shares with her three children. The family is among the 1,750 refugees from Myanmar under the care of UNHCR in India. The woman told Jolie that they fled after her husband was arrested by Burma’s military government.

Jolie listened carefully and took notes as the Burmese refugee women told her that they cannot return to their country as long as the military regime remains in power. While they talked, Jolie's five-year-old son Maddox played on the floor with Burmese children and overcame language barriers with a contest of spinning tops. © UNHCR/K.McKinsey
