After having a baby, most people receive gifts, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have given one away instead.

According to Access Hollywood, the new parents donated $300,000 to Namibian children and $15,000 to the African town of Swakopmund. For a school and community centre.

“We want to contribute to Namibia and the people who have been so gracious to us at this time,” a government statement quoting the couple said.

The couple welcomed their first child together, a girl named Shiloh, at the Welwitschia Clinic in Namibia Saturday. Jolie has two previously adopted children, who Pitt is in the process of adopting.

Brad Pitt is set to shoot his latest film, a western titled The Assassination of Jesse James, in Calgary this summer.

According to the Calgary Sun, Pitt was the one who pushed to bring the project to the Albertan city, where he filmed Legends of the Fall in 1993.

“It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve filmed,” Pitt once said while promoting Ocean’s Twelve. “I’d come back in a heartbeat if the right project came along.”

An unnamed Warner Bros. executive told the Calgary paper that Jesse James has been fast-tracked to begin shooting after being approved only last week.

“We have a tentative date of late August or early September,” said the executive. “Brad Pitt is the only actor attached to the project at this time.”

Jesse James is just one of several films preparing to shoot in Alberta in the coming months. Also approved for production are the Robin Williams comedy RV, a Robert Duvall western called Daughters of Joy, and a tale of a wagon train journey titled September Dawn.
