Agelina Jolie’s KIND Heart

Doing her part to help make the world a better place, Angelina Jolie was out speaking during a symposium on international law and justice at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City on Friday (October 17).

During the course of her busy day, Miss Jolie has also announced that she’s “teaming up with Microsoft Corp., law firms and corporate law departments to create a legal system for children of parents involved in U.S. immigration proceedings.”

Of the new initiative, AP reports tell that “The Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) will provide pro bono legal defense for unaccompanied children.”

Explaining that the U.S. provides no legal help for the children of parents entangled in immigration court proceedings, Angelina tells, “These children often have nothing; no money, no support and no family, yet they come to America seeking its promises of a better life. But many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten.”
