Brad Pitt joined forces in Western India with former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn as part of a Habitat for Humanity program. It’s amazing how he finds the time.
On Monday, Pitt dropped by the town of Lonavala to join the Carters and volunteers to help build a new house for Aziz and Sadhiya Sheikh, according to the Habitat Web site.
Pitt laid cement blocks that will help finish the outside of the house. Photos taken at the site show a gloved Pitt in a white shirt, dark jeans, goggles and a baseball cap adjusting a window grill. Another shows him cementing bricks into place.
Pitt is in India with Angelina Jolie filming A Mighty Heart, about American journalist Daniel Pearl who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan in 2002.
Also helping out the Carters – who every year since 1984 have spent a week building a home for Habitat – were former Miss World and Miss India Diana Hayden and Australian cricket player Steve Waugh.
“We’ve realized that people across the globe have the same basic needs, dreams and aspirations,” Carter, 82, said at a press conference at the work site. “Habitat’s program depends on finding families who cannot otherwise afford housing.”
In all, Pitt worked under the hot sun and talked to fellow volunteers for about half an hour, according to local news reports. source
