Angelina Jolie went to a Thailand refuge camp yesterday. The United Nations ambassador went there urging their governing body to allow refugees freedom of movement. As it is right now, refugees are in a camp and remain in the camp forever. They have no way out.

Angelina went to the refugee camp without her children or Brad Pitt. This is what she said, via the UN Refugee Page:
“I was saddened to meet a 21-year-old woman who was born in a refugee camp, who has never even been out of the camp and is now raising her own child in a camp,” Jolie said after her visit Wednesday to Ban Mai Nai Soi camp, home to 18,111 mainly Karenni registered refugees, just three kms from the Myanmar border, near Mae Hong Son.
Angelina wants them to be taught how to be self-reliant, instead of simply being confined to a refugee camp and waiting on the government for food and supplies. Angelina visited Afghanistan in October and has many more trips planned in the future.
