Angelina Jolie spent the better part of her Tuesday at the MSF Hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where she visited with a 10-year-old Haitian boy who lost his left leg during the Jan. 12 earthquake. Earlier, the U.N. goodwill ambassador spent time with survivors at the Dario Contrera Hospital in Santo Domingo, where she was accompanied by Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, a representative of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and the son of Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa. In the aftermath of the devastating quake, Jolie and partner Brad Pitt aided the relief effort by donating $1 million to Doctors Without Borders to provide medical assistance to those in need of emergency care.
