Brad and Angelina donate to Namibian hospitlas

Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will donate $300 000 to the maternity wards of two state hospitals in Namibia following the birth of their daughter in the southern African country.

"We want to contribute to Namibia and the people who have been so gracious to us at this time," they said in a statement released on Monday by the Namibian government.The funds will be used to purchase medical equipment for the maternity wards at the state hospitals in Swakopmund and Walvis Bay on Namibia's west coast.

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born late on Saturday and instantly one of the hottest celebrity stories of the year, is being shielded from the prying lenses of paparazzi eager to score some extremely valuable baby pictures.

The new baby joins the couple's adopted children Maddox and Zahara, rounding out a family People magazine has already dubbed "the most beautiful in the world."
