What has inspired Angelina to become a goodwill ambassador?

Answer 1

While filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Angelina traveled to Cambodia- which is where she later adopted her son Maddox. She decided that she was oblivious to the "real world" and started reading books about cultures, and 3rd world countries, refugees, and poverty. She later contacted the UN herself and asked if she could work with them to learn more- they said yes, and she began to learn more about the world she "had little idea about" and later was offered a chance to be the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.
