"Ocean's Thirteen" stars have donated $5.5 million to humanitarian efforts in Sudan's Darfur region, according to actor George Clooney.

Clooney told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Rome that he was joined by Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and producer Jerry Weintraub in raising $9.3 million for Darfur, most of which was contributed at a dinner during the film's premiere last month at the Cannes Film Festival.

Clooney said more than half the money has already been donated to various charities dealing with Darfur. He said his group wants to keep emptying and replenishing the coffers of the humanitarian organization they co-founded, called Not on Our Watch, to focus global attention on the plight of the 2.5 million civilians in Darfur who have fled their homes.

"There are only a few things we can do protect them where we can, and provide food, water, health care and counseling," he said. "We're just trying to get them to live long enough to get to the next step."

More than 200,000 people have died in the Darfur region of western Sudan since 2003, when local rebels took up arms against the Sudanese government, accusing it of decades of neglect. Sudan's government is accused of unleashing in response a militia of Arab nomads known as the janjaweed a charge it denies.

The UN announced last week that Drew Barrymore is the new Ambassador Against Hunger for the World Food Programme. Barrymore, 32, who recently returned from a second trip to Kenya to visit WFP-supported school feeding projects, joins world marathon record-holder Paul Tergat, from Kenya , as Ambassador Against Hunger.

Barrymore and Tergat, a former school feeding recipient, will focus their advocacy efforts on school feeding programs.

"Humbled"

“I am honoured and humbled to accept this challenging and rewarding assignment,” Barrymore said Wednesday. “I can’t think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry.

Natalie Portman is making the world a better place by helping poor women get small loans to help change their lives for the better.

Natalie spoke to the TV show “This Week,” reporting that she had met many mothers who were younger than her and who were forced to work in bad conditions for a low salary because it was the only job they could get.

“Getting this loan enables them to start their own business out of their own house and be with their children. It changes the whole system,” Natalie said.

“If a woman can’t tell her child, ‘I can feed you tomorrow, I can pay for your school,’ then what happens? What do they do? What do they choose?” asks Natalie.

“It’s really trying to reach the poorest of the poor and offering banking services to them,” Portman concluded.
