Jolie has personally donated $100,000 to the cause – almost twice as much as the country’s own president donated.
The 35-year-old actress, making her fourth trip to Pakistan since becoming a goodwill ambassador for the UN in 2001, visited several camps where she made a point of speaking to women and children.
She wore a striking black and red embroidered cloak that hid her hair. Her arms were covered by a traditional Pakistani long-sleeved kurta in a concession to the region’s conservative values.
