Thanks to UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie, a new primary school for girls in Tangi, Afghanistan is ready to welcome 800 students, according to a UNHCR statement.

Following a 2008 visit to a refugee settlement in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province, Jolie donated $75,000 toward the school’s construction; the facility features eight classrooms, a well and eight latrines, and is set to begin classes next Monday, when their school year begins.

Angelina is definitely in the ranks for “our” modern day Mother Theresa.
