   American  actors  Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are donating $2 million
   to  a  wildlife  sanctuary in Namibia, where they spent Christmas with
   their children.
   The  donation  to  the  Naankuse Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary was made
   through  the  couple's  Jolie-Pitt  foundation  in  the  name of their
   daughter, Shiloh, who was born in Namibia.
   In a statement, Jolie said the couple wants their daughter to be "very
   involved"  and  to grow up with an understanding of the country of her
   birth.
   Jolie  said  the  owners  of  the  sanctuary are old friends, who have
   impressed   her   with   their  "hard  work  and  dedication"  to  the
   conservation of Namibia's land and wildlife.
   Jolie  and Pitt spent the Christmas holiday with their six children at
   the  lodge,  which  looks after injured animals, including baboons and
   leopards.
