ANGELINA JOLIE has taken eldest daughter ZAHARA back to her native Ethiopia for the first time since her adoption four years ago.
The actress is currently in Kenya on a United Nations mission with partner Brad Pitt and their six children.
According to reports, Jolie broke away from the trip at the weekend (12-13Sep09) to cross the border into Ethiopia with four-year-old Zahara and her little sister Shiloh, three, while Pitt and the couple’s other four children stayed behind.
A source tells People.com, “On a trip to Kenya with their children, Angelina stopped in Dabaab Refugee Camp, and also flew to Ethiopia with Zahara and Shiloh for two days.
“(It was) the first time Zahara had been back home since her adoption. The trip was about keeping up that culture for her.”
Reports suggest Jolie is on the hunt for a property to build a tuberculosis and AIDS clinic in Zahara’s name. The Hollywood couple co-founded a similar organisation to aid impoverished children – the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Project – after adopting their eight-year-old son Maddox from Cambodia in 2002.
