Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated over $100,000 to an orphan children charity on Christmas.
Called the SOS Children's Villages charity in the US, it is a foster care facility, which enables siblings to stay together during the adoption process, reports contactmusic.com.
"We have seen first-hand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together," Jolie said in a statement.
Her partner Pitt said: "In this holiday season, many of us take for granted that we are surrounded by loving family members. The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job of supporting them."

She is kind of flakey and so is Brad Pitt...but good flakey
Good for them. A wonderfully positive thing to do.
good for them.
while I disagree with every aspect of their politics I respect them for that,
be nice if every hollywood type did the same and gave to the kids in America who have nothing but even more so to the kids who lost mothers and fathers in the wars.
I lost two friends when I was in and it was tragic to see those kids lose their fathers
Maybe Soros with his billions could stop buying this country through politics and give a few mil to kids and wounded vets,
She’s given millions to charities in the past.
Jolie don’t like the Bama....she cool in my book.
“Granted $100,000 donation would be akin to a $10 donation from the rest of us working stiffs”
Sure - if we got half a million dollars-worth of great publicity for our $10, it would be the same.
Actually the two of them have cut back their workload tremendously to raise their kids. A producer told Variety that Pitt turned down a $5 million offer to M/C an event in Dubai (like 10 min on stage), so he could go trick or treating with his kids. Jolie hasn't done a major acting role in 2 years. Jim Carrey alone is probably worth twice the two of them combined.
$100 K is not small change for anyone.
She may be cool and all but she’s still creepy.
Every pic of her sends a shiver down my spine.
Good for them, they seem like they might be coming around. Maybe they’re starting to see that Jon Voight isn’t so wrong after all.
Finally someone sets an example for the loud-mouthed Hollywood left...spend your own money making the world right, not mine.
isn’t he not left enough for her?
Waay off topic but any guess on how much a movie starring her and her father (Voight) would make?

May God bless them for this act of charity.
btw, Taylor Swift has donated in the last half year some $350,000 that I know of.
They have given millions to charity.
