Brangelina Offer More Support to SOS Children's Orphanages

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have further cemented their relationship with SOS Children’s Orphanages, donating $333,000 to the organization, and earmarking $100,000 for two orphanages in Florida and Illinois.

Angelina said of the generous gift: “We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together. No one ‘ages out’ of an SOS Village: vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and moral support are there forever.” via Sidney Morning Herald

We wrote earlier in Dec. about the Pitt-Jolie relationship with SOS Children’s Orphanages. Brangelina inspires us all. According to The Hollywood Reporter - which received a copy of the 2008 tax return for the charity - the Jolie-Pitt Foundation banked $US13 million in 2008 and gave half back to their philanthropy projects.

We note also a trend in orphanages which involves supporting a home for the kids in their own country, and close to other relativies. Both Brangelina and Madonna are aware of these trends in philanthropy for orphanages.
