Brad Pitt Bonds With his sons Maddox, Pax on World War Z Movie Set (photos)

The 47-year-old actor brought his two oldest sons, Maddox, 9, and Pax, 7, to the set of World War Z, the flick he's filming this summer in Marsa, Malta.

Based on the book of the same name, the project -- set to hit theaters in 2012 -- features Pitt as United Nations employee Gerry Lane.

Hanging out in papa Pitt's trailer for a portion of their visit, Maddox and Pax were able to see Pitt film a shooting scene that featured him running away from zombies. Both kids covered their ears to muffle the noise from the scene's sound effects, but were quickly comforted by a bodyguard on set.

"Brad was very cheerful and happy to have his kids on set," a source told Us Weekly of Pitt, who also serves as one of World War Z's producers. "When Brad finished the scene, he took to the boys to his trailer and looked thrilled to see them. [While walking] he didn't hold their hands -- I think he likes to treat them like big boys!"

Maddox and Pax's set visit is just the latest item in their Maltese summer itinerary.

"They had a lots of fun and played for the entire two hours, laughing and giggling," an eyewitness said the Pitt-Jolie brood, who were joined by a few nannies and unidentified kids for the afternoon of fun.

As Pitt shoots World War Z, the family has been staying in a rented, palatial $11 million mansion in Qrendi, Malta. Filming for the project will move to the United Kingdom in mid-July.

Exclusive Interview: Brad Pitt reveals new feelings on marriage, children and what keeps him up at night

In the parking lot outside a Los Angeles photo studio, a scruffy-looking guy sporting a goatee, black T-shirt and motorcycle boots sits on the curb puffing a cigarette. He's listening intently to a stylish man rave about a cool camera shop. A passerby would barely notice the pair as they head into the building.

But when the photographer starts shooting, the bearded guy seems to undergo a transformation. Grooving to Jimi Hendrix on the sound system, he assumes an expression of ineffable cool, his posture somewhere between rakish and regal. He radiates glamour by the gigawatt. Suddenly, he's Brad Pitt.

That name, of course, refers to several entities that occupy the same broad-shouldered, 5-foot-11-inch frame. There's the actor, whose talent and charisma draw crowds to movie theaters worldwide. There's the celebrity, twice declared “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine, whose private life has been a source of public fascination for more than a decade. There's the Brad Pitt of the past, who has put his stints as a serial romancer of co-stars (Gwyneth Paltrow, Robin Givens, Juliette Lewis) and errant husband of Jennifer Aniston (from whom he was divorced in 2005) far behind him.

Now 47, Pitt is an unabashed family man. Fatherhood is, indeed, his most consuming project: raising an unruly brood of six children ages 2 to 9 — three of them adopted, three biological, born in five different countries — with partner Angelina Jolie. Their effect on Pitt has been, by his own account, profound. He credits parenthood, in great part, for his hard-won maturity.

“Kids hold up a mirror to you,” he says in his first extensive interview since 2009. “You can't make excuses. You've got to make sure they've brushed their teeth and eaten a good breakfast. You want to be present if they wake up with a bad dream.”

The responsibility weighs heavily on the now-middle-aged actor. In a display of emotion any parent would relate to, Pitt says fears about his kids' safety “keep me up at night.”

But unlike in most families, Pitt's worries have an added dimension. “We're hunted,” he says, flexing his tattooed, muscular forearm as if contemplating retaliation. “Our kids have to live behind a gate. Outside, there are people with cameras.

“But I'll take the trade-off. I never knew I was capable of experiencing so much love.”

In his newest movie, the sprawling and poetic Tree of Life — directed by the legendary Terrence Malick and opening in some cities this weekend — Pitt plays a father of three boys in 1950s Texas. (One son grows up to be an architect, played by Sean Penn.) That's fitting: Parenthood is increasingly central to Pitt's sense of self, influencing everything from the movies he chooses to make — “I want to leave some work behind that my kids will be proud of” — to his vision of the future with Jolie.

Though he has said the couple would wait to wed until gay people could do so legally, he now acknowledges that the timetable may change. “The kids ask about marriage,” he says, sinking wearily into a sofa. He takes a sip of cappuccino. “It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at.”

For all the luxuries Pitt can give his children, he regrets that he can't pass on the freedom he had as a child growing up the eldest of three siblings in Springfield, Mo., where his father owned a trucking company and his mother was a high school counselor.

“On the road, we're a military mobile unit,” he says. “The kids have got their stuff down to one backpack, and they're each responsible for their own bag. Mom does the packing; she's quite gifted at that. Puts in just what we need — nothing extra.”

The family migrates between the multi-house Los Angeles compound he calls “our base camp” and film sets around the globe, spending downtime at a 1,000-acre estate in southern France.

“We're pretty nomadic,” he says. “We go where the crops are.”

Pitt concedes that his family life “seems a bit extreme.” But “I like extremes. I guess I've always operated that way.”

Still, he says, “Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us. It's not unusual for the kids to be covered in paint. We have mud fights. It's chaos from morning until the lights go out, and sometimes after that.”

The older kids are home-schooled, but their parents try to create opportunities to socialize. The family sometimes sneaks past the paparazzi to an undisclosed location for a football game with friends.

Pitt and Jolie carve out time to nurture their own relationship as well.

“There are no secrets at our house,” Pitt says, his blue eyes crinkling in a slightly wicked smile. “We tell the kids, ‘Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, ‘Eww, gross!' But we demand it.”

As he navigates his fifth decade, Pitt has begun to ponder the long term. “Will I be acting when I'm 80?” he asks rhetorically. “Definitely not.”

A passionate amateur photographer and architect (whose Make It Right foundation is building environmentally sustainable homes in New Orleans for low-income residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina), he aims to explore those vocations more deeply in the coming years. He also wants to improve his French and his cooking skills — now limited to bacon, eggs and flapjacks.

But Pitt won't be trading in biker boots for house slippers anytime soon. “I hope to keep riding motorcycles,” he says with that devilish grin, “until I can't stand up anymore.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spend incredible '£6million a year' on their kids

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spend a staggering $10 million (£6.1 million) on childcare for their brood.

The superstar couple rack up huge child care, travel and food bills every month looking after their six kids.

As well as spending $5 million (£3.1 million) on private jets, the Hollywood pair splashed out $900,000 (£541,000) last year on a nanny for each of the children.

Feeding Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, four, and twins Knox and Vivienne, two, meanwhile costs around $36,000 (£22,000 ).

And having a nanny for each of them costs up to $900,000 (£541,000).

A source told a US magazine In Touch: 'They spend more than a million dollars on private tutors who travel around the world with them.

'They [even] once spent $500,000 (£301,000) for one stay at the Waldorf [Astoria hotel in New York]."

The couple also spent an estimated several million dollars on first-class airfare and hotel bills for the youngsters.

Representatives for Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 35, were not available for comment.

The news comes just days after it was revealed that the couple were on the hunt for a new nanny.

The pair are apparently prepared to pay a £90,000 a year salary for the lucky applicant.

They will also be required to travel between California, New Orleans and France, as well as other film locations around the world.

As well as a degree in education or child development, Brad and Angelina are demanding the nanny should speak at least two different languages, as well as the native tongues of their children.

Brad's parents, Bill and Jane, recently moved in to the family's Chateau Miraval estate in France to help the couple raise their large brood - meaning the nannying position may not be a lifetime role.

A source told The Sun earlier this week: 'The whole family is going to move there as soon as the renovations are done. At the moment they have six nannies - one for each of the kids - and the plan is to get rid of the helpers and rely on Bill and Jane.

'The annex they will live in is an old building which used to be used as a dovecote. It's big enough to have a sitting room, kitchen and a couple of bedrooms. It will make a lovely little cottage for them.'

Brangelina's bills according to In Touch Weekly

Private jets - $5 million (£3m)
Food - $36,000 (£21,613)
Clothes - $96,000 (£57,636)
Nannies - $900,000 (£540,395)
Birthday parties - $63,000 (£37,827)
Private cars - $220,000 (£132,113)
Activities - $153,000 (£91,878)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Treat Their Kids to a Cajun Alligator Encounter (photo)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in New Orleans at the moment with their kids while he shows off his slicked-back hair on the set of Cogan's Trade, but the actor had an afternoon off recently for a special adventure. Brad and Angelina brought their children on a Cajun Encounters tour to see the alligators — and Brad even posed for a photo with their employee Jeff Rogers!

The snap was posted on the sight-seeing company's blog, along with a wrap-up of the Jolie-Pitts' day. The family of eight "were very gracious and perfect guests on the tour." Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox touched down in Louisiana just last week, and it seems like they're all getting reacquainted with the city their parents have grown so fond of over the years.

Inside Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's Family Life

The family that sightsees together, stays together.

Roaming New Orleans last weekend, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were just continuing their family tradition of on-the-go together time with their brood of six: Maddox, 9; Pax, 7; Zahara, 6; Shiloh, 4; and 2-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

But the famously globetrotting clan isn't always on the road: With the kids getting older, school schedules have started to take precedence and the family is often based in Los Angeles – where their day-to-day life is surprisingly ordinary.

"The family live in a way that can best be described as organized chaos," an insider tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "Of course it's wild when all the kids are there, and evening tends to be a bit chaotic with dinner and bedtime."

Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 35, "are both good with rules, and there are definitely consequences, like time-outs, for bad behavior," adds the source. "But for the most part the kids all get along."

Angelina Jolie & The Kids Take Over New Orleans (Photos)

Angelina Jolie and her six children landed in New Orleans Friday evening, and you can see the pictures here on RadarOnline.com.

With Vivienne in her arms, Angelina got off the private jet that brought the family to the Big Easy where they're joining the kids' dad Brad Pitt. He's been there the last two weeks, shooting his next film, Cogan's Trade.

As the Jolie-Pitt kids are getting a little older, their individual personalities are starting to show through. Oldest son Maddox, 9, who has been to several New Orleans Saints games with dad Brad, was wearing a jersey from his favorite team. Pax, 7, carried his own laptop bag!

We also spotted Zahara, skipping along her way to the waiting van, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox in the arms of an assistant.

The family has a home in the city's famed French Quarter, and will reportedly be spending the next several weeks there while Brad works on his crime caper flick with Javier Bardem and Casey Affleck.

Angelina Jolie says time with kids goes so fast

The 'Tourist' actress -- who raises Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with her partner Brad Pitt -- says mothers should cherish every minute they can spend with their kids because it goes by so fast.

She said: "Just enjoy every minute of it because it goes so fast and it is the best time in your life. And strap them to you and hang out with them and sleep in the same bed with them and just love every second of it."

The 35-year-old actress also revealed she took on her role in 'The Tourist' opposite Johnny Depp because it would give her time to spend with her children in Venice and admitted she relies on her kids to keep her grounded in Hollywood.

Speaking on 'The Kyle and Jackie O Show' on Australia's 2Day FM, she said: "You just have to focus on the positive side. I got to spend two months in Venice filming which no one gets to do, with a co-star who's so lovely, so it's all hard to say no to.

"We make a point to stay together as a family when we're filming, in this town you've got to. We take turns working so everybody packed up and went to Venice.

"I think some people are affected by fame, I'm lucky that I have a lot of kids who keep me very, very grounded."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Kids have fun adventure of zip-lining in Budapest park (photos)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are instilling their shared sense of adventure onto their kids. The globe-trotting couple took part of their brood to a park in Budapest where the youngsters got to try their hand at an outdoor adrenaline pumper: zip-lining!

As their proud parents looked on, Shiloh and Pax donned helmets and harnesses as they zip-lined through the leaves-filled grounds.

Shiloh gleefully smiled as she readied herself for the experience while Zahara (in a fashionable white puffy jacket) stayed close to mom Angelina as she watched her brother and sister.

Later on, Brad was spotted helping Shiloh onto one of the parks floating tunnel tubes which she wanted to climb through.

Two days before, Brad took sons Maddox and Pax to New York for the premiere of Megamind. He told reporters that he signed on for the animated movie largely for his kids.

Brad Pitt's six kids want him to play Spider-Man

Brad Pitt has revealed his children want him to play Spider-Man on the big screen.

The actor has revealed his six kids - who he raises with his partner Angelina Jolie - are all huge fans of the web-slinging superhero and would love it if he donned his famous red and blue suit.

Speaking at the New York premiere of his new animated movie 'Megamind' on Wednesday (04.11.10), Brad said: "Spider-Man is big in our family. The kids think he's the coolest. If there was one superhero they would want me to play, that would be the one. I'd score big with them."

Andrew Garfield was recently cast as the Marvel character in the new Spider-Man movie, taking over the role of Peter Parker and his super-powered alter-ego from Tobey Maguire.

The 47-year-old star - who voices the superhero character Metro Man in 'Megamind' - admits he always considers his children when accepting new roles.

He added: "Every role we (me and Angelina) choose now, we choose it for the kids. Will the kids like it? Will they like it when they are young adults? Or is this a good location for the family? That's it.

"With 'Megamind' hopefully they will think dad's really cool and better than Spider-Man."

Brad took sons Maddox, nine, and Pax, six, to the premiere.

His other children, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, are currently in Budapest, Hungary, with their mother Angelina who is shooting her directorial debut in the city.

What the Jolie-Pitt Kids Did for Halloween?

Jolie-Pitt Kids  Halloween 2009

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids definitely got into the Halloween spirit over the weekend in Hungary, where their mom, 35, is currently shooting her directorial debut.

Brothers Maddox, 9, and Pax, nearly 7, got crafty at school (Lycee Francais de Budapest), carving jack-o-lanterns with their classmates on Friday.

And, for their costumes, the famous tykes didn't go for the store-bought variety. Instead, an insider tells UsMagazine.com, "the kids sketched out the types of costumes they liked" and worked with their nannies to make DIY getups for the big day.

On Sunday, the Jolie-Pitt gang had a "a little dress-up party" at their lavish rented home. Pax dressed as a "mad scientist in glasses and a cute outfit," and trick-or-treated at the nearby home of a girl from his class, the insider tells Us.

Meanwhile, Zahara, 5, was "a spring fairy. She looked so beautiful, with flowers in her hair. She is such a girly-girl!"

Maddox wore an all-black chimney-sweeper-like outfit. "He is obsessed with black colors [and] loves the brush they carry," explains the insider.

Where was little sister Shiloh, 4?  Sadly down with a cold, the blonde, blue-eyed girl had to sit out the festivities. (Twins Vivienne and Knox, 2, didn't participate either.)

The kids weren't able to join their classmates for a special Halloween trick-or-treat walk through the city -- but they had candy waiting for them at school on Monday, the source adds.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Bop Around Budapest With the Kids

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took a couple of their kids out for a fun-filled day in Budapest on Sunday and, to steal from the McDonald's slogan, Zahara was lovin' it!

In fact, Brangelina actually treated Z and her brother Pax to a meal at the golden arches that was no doubt happy following a trip to the city's famed thermal spa bath, Lukács Gyógyfürdo.

The sightseeing excursion by a stubble-faced Brad and part of his brood stems from the fact that Angie is currently in Budapest filming her directorial debut.

As for the rest of the fam, the couples twins Vivienne and Knox opted to sit this one out and simply go for a stroll with their respective nannies.

Brad Pitt Takes Zahara to American Girl Store (photo)

Father-daughter bonding time!

On Saturday, Brad Pitt took some time off shooting the baseball drama Moneyball to hang with 5-year-old daughter Zahara.

Donning his usual newsboy cap, the actor, 46, was photographed holding the girl's hand at a birthday party for rocker Chris Cornell's daughter Toni at the American Girl store in Los Angeles.

A witness tells UsMagazine.com: "Several little girls were invited to the party and Zahara arrived with Brad around noon. Word quickly spread around that they were at the Grove and a big scene formed outside. Brad was very cordial to fans. As they left, he waved and gave a thumbs up to everyone. He held Zahara's hand, and she looked very happy. She had a goodie bag from American Girl place that she opened as soon as she got in the car."

Zahara - whom Pitt and longtime love Angelina Jolie adopted from Ethiopia in 2006 - has "got an extraordinary voice," Jolie, 35, recently gushed to Vanity Fair. She added that their daughter also is "just so elegant and well spoken."

If I want to avoid attention I just invite Brad and Angelina and their fifteen kids over to use as Decoys

HOLLYWOOD stars have long had ways of avoiding overkeen fans and snooping cameras.

Using fake names, tinted windows and the occasional disguise are among them.

But Tinseltown's George Clooney jokes he has devised a cunning ruse - he invites close pals Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their kids round to his villa in Laglio, Italy.

They get all the attention and he can sneak off for some peace.

In an exclusive interview, Clooney says: "It's much easier for me to hang out with friends at a restaurant in Laglio or a lot of other small villages and towns without 50 photographers showing up in half an hour.

"My life over there takes me away from the circus aspects of being a celebrity and that's a pleasant change for me.

"But unfortunately Laglio is turning into a bit of a tourist mecca now and so I have to be a little more careful whenever I'm there - either that, or I should just stand at the entrance to the village handing out tourist brochures.

"I don't really worry about that though."

"Whenever I want, I can always stage a diversion and invite Brad and Angie and their 15 children to come over.

"Then I can sneak away to the other side of the lake by boat and do whatever I want."

Brad and George have been pals for years, having worked together on the three Ocean's films - which kicked off in 2001 with Ocean's Eleven - and 2008 flick Burn After Reading.

Handily Clooney's next movie, The American, is largely set in Italy, so he hasn't had to stray far from his adopted country.

It follows on from the Oscar-nominated hit Up In The Air - featuring Clooney as an executive who flies around firing staff at downsizing firms - which opened in January to rave reviews.

The actor is making slightly fewer films than before as he is enjoying a more relaxed life in Europe.

And he admits his work ethic has damaged his personal life in the past. George has not settled down again since his 1993 divorce from actress Talia Balsam, 51, although he has been dating beautiful Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis for more than a year.

He said: "I was working so hard on my film projects that for a time I basically didn't even think very much about how my personal life was evolving.

"I didn't care, in the sense that I didn't have a family or children to look after and that I wasn't involved in any long-term relationships.

"What changed my life in a very pleasant and unexpected way was buying the villa in Laglio. That was a pure investment decision - I thought maybe I would spend a few weeks vacationing there.

"But then I realised how beautiful life was in Italy and how it really helped calm me and not feel so pressured.

"I could also work very productively and bring my friends over to keep me company."

On the surface, George is the star with everything.

The silver-haired heart-throb has an Oscar, the pick of the best film roles, a stunning Italian girlfriend and the villa on Lake Como.

But one trauma continues to nag at the actor - the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan in Africa.

Four years ago Clooney and his journalist dad Nick smuggled cameras into the Darfur refugee camps to show the terrible impact of a civil war that is estimated to have killed more than 300,000.

No end is in sight to the bloody conflict despite Sudan's president Omar al-Bashir being charged by the International Criminal Court for allegedly orchestrating the genocide.

George says: "I've been honoured to be able to lend my celebrity to help wherever I can, especially on behalf of the United Nations.

"But in the case of Darfur it's been the greatest failure of my life.

"With other people, we've been able to get a lot of attention focused on the terrible situation there and nothing has changed. It's very frustrating."

On Sunday, the 49-year-old picked up a humanitarian award for his good work, which has also included helping the victims of January's earthquake in Haiti and of Hurricane Katrina which struck New Orleans in 2005.

He reckons he inherited this desire to speak out on important issues from his 76-year-old father.

George said: "My dad believed there's a right way to live and a right way to run a government.

"So he has never shied away from speaking his mind on certain issues and being politically outspoken even if that cost him his job or made his life difficult.

"So I grew up appreciating the meaning of the notion of integrity and I owe that to my father."

His new film, The American, sees Clooney as an assassin preparing for his last job. Opening on November 26, it is directed by Anton Corbijn, who made the Joy Division singer Ian Curtis biopic, Control.

It is another medium-budget production for Clooney who admits he has deliberately avoided making blockbusters since the 1997 flop Batman & Robin.

He said: "There was so much hype around my being Batman and then I nearly killed the franchise and my career along with it.

"I also didn't want to do a lot of easy romantic comedies. I wanted to make films like Three Kings and Out Of Sight because those kinds of films are trying to push the envelope and have a chance to leave some kind of mark."

Clooney ensures he keeps work and pleasure separate. He said: "You have to be willing to work hard to create your own sense of freedom and that's where the real art of living comes in.

"I probably have as much fun as anyone but I'm extremely disciplined when it comes to dividing my time between work and play.

"I don't even drink as much as I used to because I just can't stand wasting the next day recovering from a hangover any more."

While he considers hard work a major reason for his success since quitting TV series ER to make it big in Hollywood, he also realises luck has played a role. And he says stars shouldn't be fooled into thinking they are creative geniuses.

George said: "I grew up around famous people. In the world I grew up in - Cincinnati, Ohio - my father was a big star as a TV news anchorman and my Aunt Rosemary was one of the most popular singers in America.

"But I learnt from how her career sank in the Sixties. I saw how little it has to do with you. It's all about luck.

"The problem with famous people in general is that they actually think they're geniuses.

"You get famous and you think, 'Yes, of course I should be famous and I've earned it all'. You haven't, though. You got lucky. I got lucky."


He continues to hold out for more good fortune, believing his best work is in front of him.

He smiled: "I still feel I haven't done my best work although I've at least put myself in the position where I can keep doing what I love and enjoy the process.

"That, for me, is what it's all about. I've had a pretty good plan which I've been following for the last ten years or so in terms of becoming a director, developing my own projects and taking my work to the next level.

"I even have a bit of a personal life these days."

Laughing, he added: "I don't want to make anyone sick, but things are going pretty well for me."

Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight Brags About His Grandchildren: "They're All Smart"

Jon Voight continues to relish his role as grandpa to the children of his daughter, Angelina Jolie, and her partner, Brad Pitt.

"Shiloh, oh boy, she's a smart one, but she's four years old, you can never tell what she does, her face lights up," the Coming Home Best Actor Oscar winner, 71, told reporters at FOX's Fall Eco-Casino Party at L.A.'s Boa Restaurant this week.

"They're all smart," says Voight. "Z's smart, they're all smart I'll tell you. Maddox, Pax, Z … I gotta get all their names, because you can't cheat and I'm not going to. Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, they're all very smart kids, beautiful too."

As for keeping in touch with his six grandchildren via Skype, as Voight vowed to do, "I'm trying!" he says, "Maddox says 'okay' – he writes me back 'okay' and then I can't get it, but I've been away for my computer so I couldn't get back to him."

RELATED: INSIDE STORY: How Angelina and Dad Jon Voight Are Healing Their Rift


Rather than become frustrated with his lack of computer skills in communicating with Maddox, Voight says he's probably "going to see him" soon, and "what's better than that?"

Voight is costarring in FOX's new drama Lone Star, in which he plays the patriarch of a Texas oil family, a role that won approval from Jolie – whom he says, "knows what I like" and is "very astute."

Does this mean his grandchildren might be tuning in, too? "I don't think they'll be that interested in it, you know," he says. "But they might be."

Angelina Jolie: Brad Pitt Is The Only Person I Talk To and I don't have a lot of friends I talk to (VIDEO)

Angelina Jolie is in Pakistan, where she has met with the Prime Minister in her role as UNHCR ambassador. On Wednesday she spoke with CNN's Sanjay Gupta via satellite about the flood victims and how she deals with the tragedy she sees.

"I'll talk to my family," she said. "I talk to Brad; he wants to know as much as he can about these issues and every trip. He's been here as well, he came with me after the earthquake. But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to."

Angelina said that she lets her older children watch the reports about the floods and tries to teach them about what is happening in the countries they are from.

"I tell my children why I'm going and I explain to them why I was packing flashlights and food. They help me pack some things," she said. "It helps them to be better people, to understand a little bit about the world."
