Angelina Jolie setting up charities for each adopted child
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are building an AIDS clinic in their adopted daughter Zahara's native Ethiopia to ensure she will always stay in touch with her African roots.
The actress became mum to Zahara Marley in 2005 and Jolie reveals she and Brad Pitt are in the process of establishing a medical centre to treat AIDS and tuberculosis in the six-year-old's name, similar to the Maddox Chivan Children's Center they founded in Cambodia, where their eldest son Maddox was born.
And the Hollywood supercouple plan to do the same for their other
adopted son, Pax, in Vietnam.
In an upcoming interview with newsman Anderson Cooper, the actress
says, "They have programmes in their countries (for) each of them
we're starting. There's a TB/AIDS clinic being built for Zahara;
there's a clinic already for Mad. So each of them will take that
responsibility. They are from their country and they are of their
country and they should know that, it's part of their family, we
are their family but so is their country."
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are also parents to three biological
kids - five-year-old daughter Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne,
three.
Angelina Jolie's full interview will air on Anderson Cooper's
daytime talk show, Anderson, on Monday (19Dec11).
