Actress Rachel Weisz Touched by Trip to Africa

(New York-WABC, August 29, 2005) -- The 34-year-old actress, told the Orange County Register, she "had never seen poverty like that of what she saw in her recent trip to Kenya but she learned the people are more rich than most people could imagine.

The actress was stationed in Kenya while filming a new movie, "The Constant Gardener." She was very surprised at the impoverished conditions that she witnessed but was very inspired by the children's spirits.

The actress who will be playing the wife of a British diplomat says, "The condition in which they live is a tragedy, but their spiritual wealth is so much more powerful than the poverty. In the end, one wonders who should feel sorry for whom."

The film is due to open Wednesday.
