World Refugee Day

According to Mary Green, writer for www.people.com, actress and Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina Jolie hosted World Refugee Day, on Thursday, June 18.

Angelina, Ann Curry and the audience heard first hand accounts of refugees that had move to the United States.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was suppose to be there, but she feel and broke her elbow. Also, Anderson Cooper was suppose to be there, but he had flight problems. Thank goodness for Ann Curry who filled in for him.

Angelina Jolie had this to say about the refugees, “Most of all they are survivors … They are the most impressive people I have ever met.”

I have to agree with that statement. Angelina is very passionate about this subject, so if fits that she is the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

According to James F. Smith, writer for www.boston.com, Angelina Jolie also said

“I know the strength that diversity has given my country – a country built by what some would now dismiss as asylum-seekers and economic migrants – and I believe we must persuade the world that refugees must not be simply viewed as a burden. They are the survivors. And they can bring those qualities to the service of their communities and the countries that shelter them. The refugees I have met and spent time with have profoundly changed my life. Today . . . I want to thank them for letting me into their lives.”
