I Believe in Haiti

Caring actress, Angelina Jolie, returned to the SOS Village in Santo, Haiti, outside of Port-au-Prince last weekend to evaluate the progress made since her last trip more than six months ago. “The children are out of their minds.

“Children love her, she’s very hands on and spends time with them and that means a great deal,” said Heather Paul, SOS Village CEO. “Haiti is a hard place right now. We have 500 children who are without parental care with us at the moment. We have 800 children in our school in the SOS village, so there are a lot of challenges. But just to have Angelina there recognizing these challenges really brings everybody up. It’s a wonderful thing,” she added.

Jolie’s main goal is to get more children enrolled in the public school system, and, in conjunction with SOS villages, a non-profit organization, support the government on building more public schools.
