Update on Jolie-Pitt

From Stuff.co.nz:
NAMIBIA: After the birth of their daughter, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $US300,000 ($NZ480,000) to two state hospitals in Namibia to buy medical equipment.
Officials in the southern African desert country announced the contribution by the Hollywood glamour couple yesterday.
The funds will be used to refurbish hospitals in Walvis Bay – the district where Jolie gave birth at the weekend – and another facility Swakopmund, Deputy Minister of Environment and Tourism Leon Jooste said.
The couple also pledged $US15,000 ($NZ24,000) to help a school and community centre.
"We want to contribute to Namibia and the people who have been so gracious to us at this time," they said.
Authorities in Namibia have gone to great lengths to secure the privacy of Pitt and Jolie since they arrived in April.
