She loved Cambodia so much that she did ask a young boy for adoption that she named him Maddox. She also sponsor an environmental project in Samlaut, Pailin. For his adopted son, she set up a center called the Maddox Center in Battambang to serve like an orphanage center. I remember she was given the Cambodian citizenship. Congratulations for her initiatives for Cambodia. Angelina Jolie is also UN Goodwill Ambassador. A role model for many...
