Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are stepping up efforts to aid people in need in their son's home country of Cambodia.
The celebrity couple visited the homeland of their son Maddox, five, in November and are working to expand the scope of the Maddox Jolie-Pitt project (MJP), which Jolie launched more than four years ago as a conservation initiative.
The two have donated millions of dollars and teamed up with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs and his anti-poverty organization Millennium Promise on an economic-development program in northwestern Cambodia. Seventy MJP workers will work with Sach's group on activities including rice planting, distribution of beds to fight malaria, school meal programs and providing medicine for clinics.
Jolie tells People, "We have learned so much and I think we are on the right track. We hope people will travel to Cambodia. The people there have overcome so much." Pitt adds, "It was incredibly moving to visit my son's country."

Mr. & Mrs. Pitt,
I humbly congratulated you both. You are both better than the King & Queen of Cambodia. They ran away from the problem they'd created. And you both ran into solved the problems the Exile people had caused.
The exilers hated Khmers. And you save a life, preserving our forest, and preserving our culture. That is more than any Khmer oversea can do. Thank you both, best wishes on the New year.

Dear Jolie and Brad,
You have played an very important role in Cambodia to show all Cambodian mafia-rich people to learn from you. They have no regret in creating other prople sufferings. Your role model will influence them included Hun Sen, to give aways all their stolen monies into Charity into Cambodia instead of deposited them in overseas. Your presence in Cambodia, will inluence a lot to these people to learn how to help other people. We thank for your noble cause.

Although you have good intention about Cambodia, your wording is wrong when you stereotype people. Learn from your mistake!
Cambodia becomes more known in the world by you (the best wellknown stars of Hollywood)
Cambodians are very proud by your good actions and Maddox

We love you Ms. Jolie and Brad.

Your comments make me sick. Here there goes my tax money to the garbage talk like you and your damn khmers. That's not the way you communicate with the smart from the west. You promote hatred among your own damn Khmers. Most the furnotures I saw were made in Vietnam but the trees from Cambodia. Shut up if you are that so stupid.
Angelina and Brad !
wherever you go don't forget to take baby shilo along . Three of you together is just a picture perfect...thanks you for your kindness...
