The genuine heartfelt sincerity of Angelina’s tireless humanitarian work was amply demonstrated by her generous donation of $100,000 (Rs8.5 million) for Pakistan’s flood victims at a time when Pakistan is facing difficulty in attracting funds for what is described as the worst disaster of the 21st century. This donation remains unmatched by Pakistan’s notoriously wealthy and ruthlessly corrupt elite.
President Asif Ali Zardari has declared a contribution of Rs5 million. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani says he does not believe in cash donations and had donated in kind. MQM leader Altaf Hussain has donated Rs5 million.
Admiration and love for Angelina in Pakistan swelled after she returned to visit the millions of Afghan refugees stranded in Pakistan as their homeland remains in the throes of war and instability.
