Quick Takes: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donate $2 million to Namibian sanctuary

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are donating $2 million to the Namibian sanctuary where they spent Christmas with their kids.

The donation to the Naankuse Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary was made through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation in the name of their daughter Shiloh, who was born in Namibia.

Dara Barrett, head of finance at the Naankuse sanctuary, told the Associated Press that the money would be used primarily to benefit the community of San bushmen on the farm and surrounding areas.

The remainder of the funds will be used for large animal conservation projects and other San community projects that have yet to be identified, Barrett said.
