Rendition During Books Notes from My Travels: Visits with Refugees in Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan and Ecuador

From the ever-intriguing and appealing actress Angelina Jolie comes the personal journals she compiled while performing humanitarian relief efforts in such countries as Sierra Leone and Tanzania, Pakistan and Cambodia.

Three years ago, award-winning actress Angelina Jolie took on a radically different role as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Here are her memoirs from her journeys to Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Pakistan, Cambodia, and Ecuador, where she lived and worked and gave her heart to those who suffer the world's most shattering violence and victimization. Here are her revelations of joy and warmth amid utter destitution...compelling snapshots of courageous and inspiring people for whom survival is their daily work, and candid notes from a unique pilgrimage that completely changed the actress's world view — and the world within herself.

Commentary About Books Notes from My Travels: Visits with Refugees in Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan and Ecuador

"All of us would like to believe that if we were in a bad situation someone would help us."DNF quite simply because this journal became too personally heart-wrenching for me to continue. The horrors that these people -mostly children - experience on a daily basis is incomprehensible to me. Jolie's description of the plight of thousands of refugees around the world and her detailing of administrative obstacles such as a lack of funding for the UN refugee agency is simply heart-breaking.Now I

The book is a journal written by Angelina Jolie during her visits to UNHCR camps in Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan and Ecuador in the early 2000's. Most parts of it are written at the moment and as you read it's almost as if you are witnessing the occurrences around her with her. Some of the atrocities she writes about especially against young children are horrifying and extremely disturbing. When you read about the genocides and other horrible cases of human violence you wonder how can human beings

I've been reading this book on and off since July 2005, for 12 years. This is because I find the first hand insight to much to bear reading more than a handful of pages at a time.Angelina is not an author, this is not an autobiographical book. It is exactly what the title says; Notes from My Travels: Visits with Refugees in Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan and Ecuador. So, in essence this is excerpts from a diary or journal that Angelina kept during her travels at the beginning of her UN Ambassador

Disclaimer - I like Angelina Jolie. I think that she's an amazing woman, a great actress and classier than certain people who feel the need to name-drop her in every other interview. That's partly why I read this and the other was that it gave me a significant push into Asia that I needed for my challenge.Anyway, before Brangelina and all the kids Angelina Jolie was recruited as a UN Goodwill Ambassador for Refugees and as part of her duties she went travelling around the world to different

Favorite quotes:"I think we all want justice and equality. We all want a chance for a life with meaning. All of us would like to believe that if we were in a bad situation someone would help us." "Someone once said, 'You can learn more about someone in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.'"

This was an unexpected pleasure. Part of that, I think, is that she's very cognizant of what the book is and what it isn't, and then also of what her capacity with UNHCR is and isn't.How could we ever pretend to know what is best for a people if we have no clear relationship with them? (page 104)Jolie traveled primarily as an observer, with the intent of learning as much as possible about refugee situations and raising awareness at home. She wasn't there to 'fix' anything or provide more than

This book should be titled The education and awakening of Angelina Jolie since the most interesting thing is the way she grows up between the beginning and the end. Because she isnt a writer, the shock and horror she experienced in Africa comes through in a more visceral way. Shes not trying to make us feel what she feels when she looks around at acres of dying refugees, shes just trying to describe it to herself in some way that makes sense. Im impressed by the fact that she requested her first
