Salma, Getting Her Humanitarian On

Filed under: Salma Hayek

We love seeing celebs doing good!

You can now add Salma Hayek to that list.

The Mexican mami is a spokeswoman for the Pampers/UNICEF campaign and is supporting a global campaign to eliminate tetanus, which kills a newborn baby every three minutes in poor countries.

Tetanus bacteria can breed in soil and infect newborn babies at the moment of birth in unsanitary conditions and often through the umbilical cord. Unfortunately their death is quick and painful.

As for Salma, she went to Sierra Leone last week to participate in a vaccination drive against the disease.

So, now for each specially-marked pack of Pampers diapers that get sold through the end of the year, Procter & Gamble has pledged to donate a vaccine.

During a news conference in Geneva, Hayek said, "I had no idea how much it was going to really personally move me … to actually see it in Sierra Leone."

Sierra Leone is one among 50 countries where newborn babies and mothers die of tetanus.

Unfortunately for them, tetanus has already been eliminated in industrial countries but not in poverty ridden countries.

The Pampers UNICEF 1 Pack = 1 Vaccine Campaign has funded 50 million vaccines since starting back in 2006 in Britain.

      good for her. Also don't forget to get your shot. Adults need a shot every 10 years. It doesn't even hurt.

      I'm sorry but she's really fugly. I've never understood her attraction. Huge forehead and a chin that rivals Leno.



    26. 26

      And in the USA, parents don't WANT to immunize. Go figure.
      How much does she get paid to be a spokesperson? You act like these stars don't get PAID for doing that!



    27. 27

      That dress makes Selma Hayek look huge.



    28. 28

      She has always done good! She has the longest while fighting against Domestic Violence against women with Avon.



    29. 29

      I understand your point Sushi. I also don't understand the appeal of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Garner, Fergie, Lil' Kim, Sandra Oh, Jessica Biel with her ugly face, and many more that deserve to be call ugly instead of little kids!
