Here is the most recent news about Orlando! On April 8th, he arrived in Jordan, and is now visiting Syria through he Unicef goodwill ambassador. While in Syria, he visited a refugee camp located near the capital, and a Syrian family in the town of Irbid, who had to flee from their hometown due to violence from the war thats still raging. And lastly, he visited a Unicef founded school in Za'atari, one of the biggest refugee camps in Syria, with a booming population of 10,000. In a recent interview he said, "These children have witnessed more extreme violence than any child should... these are families that had lives most of us can relate to. Parents had jobs. Kids went to school and got to play. This war obliterated their lives and uprooted them from their homes and now they are living in precarious situations with little or no hope for their future."

Thank you Orlando, for being such a nice person, and doing things that make a difference in the world, not many actors are as giving and selfless as you are!
