The Hollywood stars of Oceans Thirteen, have used their power for the greater good and have helped to raise $5.5 million for the civilians of Sudan in the Darfur region where more than 200,000 people have lost their lives.

In a telephone interview with the Associated Press, George Clooney states he was joined on his charity mission by the other Ocean’s Thirteen stars along with the films producer Jerry Weintraub. During the film’s premiere last month, the actors managed to raise most of the money at a formal dinner, at the Cannes Film Festival.

George and pals donated the money to different charities of which are dealing with Darfur. The star said: “There are only a few things we can do, protect them where we can, and provide food, water, health care and counselling. We’re just trying to get them to live long enough to get to the next step.”
