Angelina Jolie proved yet again why she deserves the nickname Saint Angelina.
Hollywood's leading lady took time out from her busy filming schedule and hectic family life to shoot a 30-second awareness campaign video to support World Refugee Day 2010 which takes place on June 20th.
Jolie, a UN goodwill ambassador, has been a supporter of the cause for the past decade and has spent her spare time travelling to war zones in Chad, Syria and Darfur, amongst others, in order to draw attention to the issues faced by the people there.
In 2009, she spoke to the US congress in Washington on the issue.
Important message: Angelina Jolie asks people to remember those without a place to call home
'Having a home, a place we belong, a place we feel safe, is something most of us take for granted,' she said in the moving clip.
'Yet those who flee from conflict and persecution no longer have that place. And it will be years before they can even return. In fact many may never go home again.'
'On this day, World Refugee Day, please remember the millions of people around the world forced from their homes. Because the only hope of return is to not be forgotten.'
Fresh faced: The actress looks as gorgeous as ever in the brief clip
Jolie, who turned 35 on June 4th, has been busy recently shooting her new movie The Tourist alongside Johnny Depp as well as completing post production on the film Salt in which she plays a secret agent.
She has five films in pre production including the much talked about Cleopatra in which she will play the lead role.
The Oscar winner also finds time to take care of her 6 children, Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Knox and Vivienne, with long term love Brad Pitt.
