Angelina Jolie is in the new issue of Newsweek magazine & she talks about important humanitarian issues that she has come across through her six years of work as a goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
The interview touches the heart of anyone who reads it ... The photos are also very expressive; they show the suffering, pain & need these helpless refugees are living each day.
One photo that truly says a lot, is the one of Angelina holding a 7 year-old boy tied to a tree.

He was just three when he went missing in Dafur for two days while his village was bombed, he was never the same since.
He now lives with his mother & four siblings in a refugee camp in Chad.
His mother keeps him tied up so that he won't run away or hurt himself.

About photographers coming to take pictures of her in the work field, Angelina says:
"It took me a while to agree to do it. I guess I saw that so many times the picture comes before the knowledge and the substance and I certainly didn’t want to do that to myself or the organization. And also, I really just was shy. I was shy about sitting on the floor and talking to a woman and having a camera take a picture because I thought it was making less of my conversation with her. But … I was changed by the faces of the people I saw. It is something that I am incapable of describing … those faces and that place and those people. And so I think it’s just — let the people speak for themselves through the camera. And if I can draw you in a little because I’m familiar, then that’s great. Because I know that at the end you’re not looking at me, you’re looking at them."
