Angelina Jolie-Pitt (yes, she also uses her hubby’s name now) has a heart of gold, or so it seems.

On June 19, she took her nine-year-old daughter Shiloh to Lebanon only to meet a 12-year-old Syrian girl Hala. The reason for that was that Angelina J had a chance to interact with Hala in 2014 on her trip to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and ever since Shiloh heard about the Syrian girl who lives with her five brothers and sisters in a tented settlement, she wanted to meet and play with her. And meet and play she did.

Well done, Angelina JP. Don’t entertain the thought of adopting Hala though, please.
