Angelina Jolie was met with cries of "Angie, Angie" when she visited an SOS Villages camp for orphans outside the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince yesterday.

No sooner had Angelina quashed rumors of discord between her and Brad Pitt with displays of PDA on Super Bowl Sunday, than she flew to the stricken nation for two days of meetings with Haiti earthquake victims in her role as a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. refugee agency.

The actress, representing the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, met with U.N. officials in Port-au-Prince and visited the camp where the orphans cheered her, reports Pop Eater.

That same camp took care of 33 Haitian children after an American-based Baptist group was arrested at the Dominican border for trying to take the kids out of the country. It wasn't known if Angelina spoke with any of the children, and journalists were kept at a distance throughout her visit.
