HUSTLE&HEAL SOCIETY
To Be of Use
"I have never understood why some people are lucky enough to be born with the chance that I had, to have this path in life and why across the world, there is a woman just like me, with the same abilities and same desires, same work ethic and love for her family, who would most likely make better films and better speeches. Only she sits in a refugee camp and she has no voice...I don't know why this is my life and that's hers. I don't understand that but I will do as my mother asked, and I will do the best I can with this life, to be of use."
Angelina Jolie on receiving the Jean Hersholt
Humanitarian Award at the 2013 Governors Awards
