Another Award for Angelina Jolie The actress received an award for her work as an UN goodwill ambassador	By Entertainment News Staff, - 12th of October 2005, 10:31 GMT Adjust text size:

Angelina Jolie received the Global Humanitarian Award from the United Nations Association of the USA last evening. The event was attended by 700 diplomats and VIP guests. "To receive an award for something which has been the greatest thing in my life, aside from my two children, Zahara and Maddox is very strange", Jolie confessed. . She said she had hoped to keep the promise made to herself four years ago, when she became a goodwill ambassador. She then decided to do everything possible to help refugees all over the world because "they deserve every bit of our effort." "The UN is the closest thing to fighting for justice and I feel very, very privileged to be a very small part of it," Jolie stated. Leonore Annenberg, president and chairman of The Annenberg Foundation, was awarded the association's Global Leadership Award for her career as US chief of protocol under the late President Ronald Reagan and as one of America's leading philanthropists. Annenberg's granddaughter, Liz Kabler, promised to follow in her footsteps, drawing sustained applause from the crowd at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. US first lady Laura Bush delivered a videotaped tribute of her own, telling Annenberg and Jolie: "You've both used your gifts and talents to make the world a better place."
