The Cambodian family 'adopted' by Angelina Jolie who are now learning English and going to school, as star funds their education

Angelina Jolie's big heart extends to her own youngsters, who have helped their famous mom to 'adopt' a family of Cambodian children and put them through private school.The charity-minded actress was struck by the friendship her children built up with Leida Shoun, 16, and her siblings, after they met in Cambodia - where the star has been shooting her latest directorial effort First They Killed My Father.Angelina's children were first approached by the young Cambodians when they were asking tourists for dollars in their hometown of Siem Reap.Brad Pitt offered to buy them ice cream, but over the course of a few weeks last year, Angelina’s daughters Shiloh, nine, and Zahara, 11, showed their own charitable side to their Cambodian friends.They are 12 brothers and sisters, who are aged between 19 years old and 16 months, and they live in a shack with their parents in one of the city’s slums.Like many in the city, the family were living on food provided by charities and the government, but Angelina’s daughters helped them out.
Angelina's girls took the children for meals, bought them clothes and new bicycles while learning first-hand what life is like for some of the poorest people in the world.At the time Leida said she wasn’t going to class.'The school for me is too far away, I cannot walk there, so I do not go,' the 16-year-old told DailyMail.com.Every day at 6:45 in the morning, Leida and seven of her siblings who are of school age – including brothers and sisters Dyna, Ploy, Lan, Do and Darn - sport proud smiles as they catch the bus in pristine white and blue uniforms.The bus takes them to the school, where they have class five days a week until five o'clock and are given an afternoon meal.The children were enrolled in December and study hard. Soon it won’t just be Leida and six-year-old Ploy in the family who are able to speak English, as the school conducts lessons in both Khmer [the Cambodian language] and English.More importantly the children aren’t on the streets of Siem Reap until late at night, asking tourists for change.
A source who knows the family and used to help them out from time to time said: 'Going to school is the best thing that has happened to them. It gives them hope for the future and much more of a purpose in life, huge changes for them.'Leida has always been smart and had been picking up English, but as she’s 16 she has a lot of catching up to do with some of the other kids in her class, only because she’s not had the same access to education as they have.'All of them are really happy to be going to school and to be given this chance. Most of them are too young to appreciate fully what has happened, but Angelina and her family have already given them more than any cheque could – they’ve helped give them the means to learn and work and prosper for themselves.'Some close to the children worried about how they would integrate with the other children at the school, who typically come from more affluent backgrounds, but so far things have been going well and they have made lots of new Cambodian friends.Ploy told DailyMail.com: 'I like school, I am learning English. It is good for me.'A source at the school added: 'The Shouns are very good children. They have only just started at the school, but they are doing very well, especially considering they have not had the structure and discipline of being at school until now.'They are all very sharp, smart children and we are all sure they have a great future ahead of them.'

"Maleficent" star Angelina Jolie is reportedly furious at her dad Jon Voight for reaching out to her partner Brad Pitt.A few days ago, reports circulated that Voight called Pitt to ask about his daughter's extreme weight loss. Voight reportedly grew concerned after he saw photos of Jolie looking thin as ever.During their conversation, Voight tried to ask Pitt to put Jolie on the phone, but he refused and said that his wife will not necessarily be open to the idea of talking to her father.Jolie and Voight's issues go a long way back. A few years ago, Voight was interviewed by multiple publications about his daughter and he said that Jolie was suffering from some kind of mental illness.To add to that, Jolie is also not very happy with her dad's decision to leave her mom several years ago.Meanwhile, a source told Radar Online, "Jon was concerned after seeing photos of his daughter looking like she was wasting away, and he called Brad. He practically begged Brad to get Angie to talk to him, but Brad had to tell him he's about the last person Angie would want to hear from about this."
The source added that every now and then, Jolie will allow his dad to be involved in their lives, but it's very obvious that she hasn't forgiven him for everything he's done to her mom and their entire family."It's like Angie lets him into their lives, just a little bit, to show him what he's missing. It's pretty clear she's never fully forgiven him for breaking up the family, or flapping his gums about her in a 2002 interview," the source continued.In other news, Jolie's weight loss is not the only cause for concern among her family, friends and fans. There are also some speculations that her marriage to Pitt is close to ending. After all, the actress has been battling with her inner demons nonstop.A few years ago, Pitt was very open to handling Jolie. However, things have changed and he's realized that he deserves so much more.As of late, Jolie and Pitt have not yet confirmed or denied these rumors.
