UNHCRAngelina Jolie traveled to Zahle, Lebanon to visit with Syrian refugees on Sunday, and the 38-year-old actress will be there for the next two days to meet with some of the people who have fled the civil war in Syria.
“Meeting these children was a heart-rending experience,” Angelina said in a statement. “They have lost their families and their childhood has been hijacked by war. They are so young, yet they are bearing the burdens of their reality as if they are adults.”
Angelina is a UNHCR Special Envoy, and she's been with the organization for over 12 years now. Between raising kids, her humanitarian duties and directing films, we're not sure how she has the time to do it all!
