Angelina Jolie World Refugee Day commemoration 2009

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie wells up with tears as she makes a speech to commemorate World Refugee Day. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie joins the commemoration of World Refugee Day at the National Geographic Society on Thursday (June 18) in Washington, D.C. According to UNHCR, this years theme for World Refugee Day on June 20 is Real People, Real Needs. Of the millions of people forcibly displaced by conflict, persecution and natural disasters, every one has a story to tell; they are real people, just like you and me, and they have real needs. But, despite the best efforts of UNHCR and many others, many of these basic needs are far from being met. Find out how you can help at .
