Angelina Jolie - Refugess Inspire Actress

Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie has said she has become a better mother thanks to Somali refugees.
Angelina, 36, who raises six children, Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with partner Brad Pitt, thanked the Geneva-based Yemen Society for Humanitarian Solidarity for allowing her to spend time with them and for helping her become a good parent.
Speaking at last week's United Nations Refugee Agency Awards, where the Society won an award for helping thousands of Somali refugees and migrants who flee for Yemen in smuggler's boats across the perilous Gulf of Aden, the actress said: "I'm so grateful - I don't want to cry - to the refugee families that I have the honor and privilege to spend the last years with.
"From them I've learned so much. I've learned to be a better person, a better mother. They've inspired me by showing me the unbreakable strength of the human spirit."
Angelina also discussed the plight of those in the area.
She said: "The desperation fueled by the vicious combination of drought, famine and conflict has driven tens of thousands of people from the Horn of Africa. And we must not forget what is happening in this part of the world."
Jolie, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations, added: "We must try to imagine how desperate the people must be, when their only alternative is to risk death and sea and put their lives in the hands of ruthless smugglers."
