Angelina Jolie opens school in Afghanistan

Angelina Jolie has opened a girls only school in Afghanistan. The 37-year-old actress has funded the educational establishment - which caters to between 200 and 300 students - just outside of Kabul and hopes it will be the first of many schools she sets up. Angelina plans to fund more schools by selling her own self-designed accessories collection, the Style of Jolie, to retail stores for the first time with 100 per cent of the profits going to her new foundation, The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. She told E! News: "Beyond enjoying the artistic satisfaction of designing these jewels, we are inspired by knowing our work is also serving the mutual goal of providing for children in need."
