Remember, we wrote about the intentions of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in Ethiopia to build a clinic dealing with tuberculosis and AIDS? People said - people did: recently Dzholipitty listed from its collection The Jolie-Pitt foundation in international health committee $ 2 million to build the clinic.
The clinic will be constructed on the basis of already existing in Cambodia Dentskogo Center Chiwan Maddox (Maddox Chivan Children's Center), where children receive the necessary medical, educational and social osbluzhivanie.
"Our goal - to transfer the success we obtained in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are dying of tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS, and the sick, who can be cured," - said Jolie in a statement. She also stressed that the clinic in Ethiopia will be named in honor of her 3-year-old daughter Zahara - as well as Cambodian clinic was named in honor of her son Maddox. "We hope that when Zahara grows up, she'll take any responsibility for the clinic and continue our mission," - said Brad Pitt.
As already noted, the clinic will not only problems of AIDS, and tuberculosis - from him in Ethiopia die each year 2 million people. Tuberculosis today in terms of mortality is equivalent to AIDS, so the star couple and joined in the clinic, these diseases. "The fact that poor people continue to die from TB - which is treated - only because they have no medicines and appropriate care is simply unacceptable," - said Pitt.
What else left to say? Well done, people!
