Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Donate US$1 Million

Couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donated U$1 million to the children affected by the war of Iraq and encourage others to do the same. We all knew that this couple loved children that they adopted children aside from their own. Angelina is now pregnant with a twin which she revealed a couple of months ago.

The Jolie-Pitt foundation announced that the money will be split to four organizations that will help the children who lost their parents and could not afford to go to school. Some children in United States will also benefit. They are also victims of violence and other calamity.

Helping children in conflicts is their priority in life even if we knew that they have hurt somebody, I think in God’s time this couple will be forgiven. Madonna was criticized because she adopted a black child from Malawi. I think she is in the right track in doing so. But if you are a celebrity, the news follows and use by other people whose aim is to create a buzz so that they will earn money out of it. If you have enough then why not do a charitable thing to help the poor of the poorest, after all you can not bring those money in your grave.

Helping the poor will have a good karma towards you. If you help once, it will come back to you 10 times. But you must to this with open heart and love. Cindy McCain is doing this too and I am sure she will be the next first lady not the black one. No offense for Michelle though, she is an extra ordinary woman who can contribute to what is United States play in the future.

She received millions of dollars but lately she got some problem in China when she said that karma is the cause of earthquake in that country. If I were to ask you, would you go for quality or branding? Which is more important quality or brand?

Guess products are also very famous because of the endorser but I think the quality is not that good compared to other clothes brand. Branding makes the products famous but it will not last long if the quality is not that durable and of course the price will also matter.
