If Angelina Jolie drops $1.3 million in the forest, but Cambodian Vision in Development has nothing to do with it, did it really happen?
Facing accusations that she reneged on a promise to siphon that hefty sum into Cambodia over the next five years, the benevolent actress has set up an independent foundation to administer the funds, aptly named for the child she adopted frm the southeast Asian nation four years ago.
The Maddox Jolie Project will take over management duties that were originally doled out to the non-governmental Cambodian Vision in Development and the U.S.-based conservation group WildAid, organizations that Jolie cut ties with in December.
In response to Jolie terminating their contract, Mounh Sarath, the director of CVD, accused the Oscar winner of violating an agreement to provide his group with funds.
