"I'm grateful to you for sharing this story," Jolie expressed to Hoda, a mother who was kidnapped and assaulted along with her son.
"It helps to make it easier to understand your problems. There's a lot of suffering in this part of the world; you're a very brave and strong woman for putting this behind you for the sake of your children."
Pitt and Jolie also met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife, discussing education and healthcare options for the refugee children.
Jolie is a Goodwill Ambassard to the United Nations' refugee agency.

Howdy Hi! Angepeena here. I do NOT do these sound-bite trips & photo-ops for self promotion. They're to enlighten YOU my plebeian dumdums. Like our contrasting black & white attire? Wait till you see us amidst all the brown, suffering people here.

You can tell Jolie is genuine. The douchebag she's with is only doing it for her. Just sayin...

Oh sure, they visit impoverished people and then return to their private planes and five star hotels or their many mansions around the world. And we are supposed to think they are oh so giving in their high-profile photo ops? Get serious.
