Jennifer Aniston has been inspired by Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolie’s charitable behavior. Aniston is contemplating becoming the public face of a major charitable organization and is weighing her options according to a report in the National Ledger.

According to the report, a friend said "Jen has always been generous with charity, but now she's giving more than just her money, she's giving her time as well. "She's planning to become more involved and more visible in the causes she supports."

Both Pitt and Jolie are UN Goodwill Ambassadors. Brad has also been involved in an effort to develop energy efficient buildings. He has offered to pay a cash prize to the person that comes up with the best designs. FilmAid reported on July 19^th that Aniston filmed a PSA for an organization that brings films to refugees around the world. The Ledger reports that this is “just the beginning of her charitable work.”

Brad and Angelina’s latest charitable project is an effort to turn a ranch in Namibia, Africa into a nature preserve. Already the Harnas ranch in Namibia has helped orphaned animals. The Insider now reports that the Harnas Wildlife Foundation hopes to turn the ranch into a full-fledged nature reserve where orphaned animals can be released.

According to The Insider, Angelina became involved with the organization in 2003. The Insider says they obtained a breathtaking black and white photo in which Angelina posed with an orphaned cheetah during her first visit to the Harnas ranch. She has donated $250,000 to the Harnas in support of their mission.
