Angelina and Brad Donate $1M to Iraqi and US Kids

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation, established byand, has announced a large donation of $1 million will be distributed among four organization on behalf of children who have lost parents, homes and schools in Iraq. Children in the U.S. who have suffered the loss of a parent in the Iraq war will also benefit from this generous allotment of relief funds.

The money will be divided between the Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program to aid in providing military children with educational support and counseling , Women for Women International which will provide books, school supplies and basic necessities to Iraqi women and their children, the International Rescue Committee which will use the money to repair three schools that will then be available to 2,500 children and NineMillion.org which will provide uniforms and learning materials to 2,000 Iraqi children.

The couple have been living on the French Riviera since the end of April. They have been in seclusion following a whirlwind two weeks in the spotlight as part of the Cannes Film Festival. The couple had been staying at the home of Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft at Villa Maryland in St. Jean Cap Ferret. They recently signed a three year lease on the magnificent Chateau Miraval, where they have successfully alluded photographers for the past month.

Angelina is said to be due to give birth to twin girls in August. Many have speculated that the blessed event is more likely to occur in July. An interesting side note is that Angie's personal assistant, Holly Goline is also with child. The two were photographed together at Cannes. This caused some to surmise that the look-alike might be used as a body double on occasion or actually be the surrogate mother to one of the 'twins'. The first photos could be worth $10 million in what is likely to be a hot bidding war.
