Angelina Jolie,Brad Pitt and the children

According to a government statement, after the birth of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, the celebrity couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donated $300,000 to help other babies in Namibia. The money will be used to improve the two hospitals' maternity wards and will contribute significantly to the health of Namibian babies.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also gave $15,000 for a school and a community center in Swakopmund. The donations, which will do a lot of good, are Angelina and Brad's ways to express their gratitude for the Namibian people.

During their stay in Namibia officials put tight security around the celebrity couple hotel and the hospital where Angelina and Brad's daughter was born, set up large green barriers on the beach to shield them from photographers and refused foreign journalists unless they had written permission from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Police have also arrested photographers and confiscated film.
