When she and Pitt travel they seem to bring all that they need with them, rather than depending upon locals to feed them. She's also bringing a little more recognition to the situation, now that donations are significantly dropping off.

I'm not big on the whole celebrity bandwagon thing, and I don't find Jolie particularly compelling as an actress or all that attractive (she was far better looking at 20), but she actually seems to get it.
