Angelina Jolie spent last week in Vietnam for a meeting on behalf of the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Project, while Brad Pitt was busy setting up their new house in New Orleans and filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and couldn’t make the trip.
According to MJP executive director Stephen Bognar, he and Jolie met with officials from the International Finance Corporation’s Mekong Private Sector Development Facility, a privately funded World Bank initiative that promotes economic development in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Jolie is reportedly interested in a program to get farmers to grow and sell bamboo, increasing their monthly income from $25 to $100-300.
Now the actors, along with kids Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 7 months, are back together in the Big Easy, where Pitt and Jolie recently bought a six-bedroom, $3.5 million house.
