They’re between film shoots, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have kept busy.
First, it was the creation of the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, named after Brad’s mother, in his hometown of Springfield, Mo. And Wednesday, in support of Jolie’s eight-year relationship with the UN Refugee Agency, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave $1 million to help displaced people in Pakistan, a country she has visited three times.
The head of the agency, António Guterres, thanked the foundation for its assistance, calling Pakistan’s plight “the most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade,” as more than 2 million people are currently displaced in the country.
Jolie will talk about her work in aiding refugees Thursday when she and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton celebrate World Refugee Day in Washington D.C.
Having just finished a four-month shoot for the thriller Salt, Jolie will be a stay-at-home mom as her family moves to Los Angeles while Pitt films Moneyball.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and his family donated $1 million to a Missouri hospital over the weekend.
Brad’s bro, Doug, announced the generous contribution to St. John’s Hospital in his hometown of Springfield Saturday. The money will establish an endowment fund to pay children’s cancer specialists, the Springfield News-Leader reports.
The hospital’s cancer treatment unit will be renamed the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, in honor of Brad’s mom, who is passionate about children’s issues.
Once completed this summer, St. John’s Hospital will become one of six affiliates of the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital (one of Jennifer Aniston’s favorite charities).
The endowment fund will also go toward building a new pediatric unit, a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald house and doubling the size of the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.
St. John’s is matching the $1 million donation to help fund the expansion.

Don’t worry about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Hollywood’s hottest couple is not splitting up, their rep tells PEOPLE.
Rumors of a breakup are “not true,” says the rep.
Reports surfaced Wednesday that Pitt and Jolie, who are parents to six children, were planning to make a split “official.” The reports stemmed from a story in the National Enquirer.
Just last month, the couple made a glamorous appearance together on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival where Pitt’s new film, Inglourious Basterds, premiered. Jolie has also been filming her upcoming movie, Salt.
