Hope, Rising From the Flames



It was Jolie's 30th birthday a few days ago, and she threw the most interesting, meaningful party - a charity party!  Instead of gifts, guests made donations to sponsor Jolie in the NYC marathon, which she is running to raise money for her organization's education initiative in Liberia.  (That doesn't make me feel lazy or guilty at all.)

And the tiny cross above?  Jolie gave them out at the party (which was at Amity Hall, a classy-looking Irish pub) - they were made by a local artist from bullets that were left on the ground in war-torn Liberia.  Bullets!  Talk about making something beautiful out of something ugly.

West Village.  On Canon Powershot.
