Over-the-edge star Angelina Jolie couldn't bare the deprivation she saw in Cambodia while filming her last movie, Tomb Raider. After seeing the way of life first hand, she decided to do something to help.

The children of Cambodia will have a new school to attend thanks to Ms. Jolie. Although this gift is too big to wrap up with a bow, the future students won't mind. There are very few schools in the small, underdeveloped country and education often takes the backseat. "You can't help going to a place like that and getting involved," Tomb Raider director Simon West said.
