Jolie, Pitt Donate $2 Mil to Wildlife Sanctuary

Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are helping a Namibia conservation organization further its cause. According to Usmagazine.com, Jolie and Pitt recently donated two-million-dollars to the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary which houses orphaned and injured animals that cannot be released back into the wild. In explaining the donation, Jolie said she and Pitt were impressed by the group's hard work and dedication, quote, "to the people and conservation of the land and wildlife of Namibia." The couple's four-year-old daughter, Shiloh, was born in the African nation. Jolie also said they wanted Shiloh to grow up with an understanding of her country of birth. The family visited Namibia last month to present the endowment and mingle with the locals.
