Yes, We Can Get to Zero

I’ve always known that maternal and neonatal tetanus is a deadly but preventable disease. I have never met anyone who has contracted it. Nor had I even heard of a case, that is, until meeting Caryl. Honestly, I didn’t even think tetanus existed anymore. I thought it was akin to an urban legend.

You’re never too young to make a difference in someone else’s life!

Gabriella Malek is a Broadway performer and spokesperson for Broadway Kids Care. BKC’s members have participated in a variety of charitable works. Pampers’ “One Pack = One Vaccine” campaign to benefit UNICEF, a program which provides funding to protect women and their newborn babies against maternal and neonatal tetanus, has become a favorite

I get this great rush of excitement giving to other people, the same as when I am performing a show. I think my friends that join me at Broadway Kids Care feel the same way as I do. My motto is you’re never too young to make a difference in someone else’s life! This is also what Kelly Gonda, the founder of BKC had in mind when she formed Broadway Kids Care, an organization where Broadway kids get together to give back to the community and make a difference.

I’m a Believer

Christine Koh, founder and editor of the BostonMamas.com blog, attended a briefing organized by Pampers, UNICEF’s partner in the “One Pack = One Vaccine” campaign. This post is the first in a series by bloggers who participated in that briefing.

I’ll admit it. Six months ago, Pampers and UNICEF were well-known yet impersonal entities to me. I bought the diapers and tossed money into the collection boxes, but that was where the relationship ended.

That remote rapport changed, however, thanks to my attendance at Pampers’ first mom blogger meeting in Cincinnati – where I first learned about the “One Pack = One Vaccine” campaign – and at the recent New York media event, where the North American campaign re-launch was announced.

One Pack = One Vaccine: Together we can make a difference

About this time last year, I assumed the role of spokesperson for Pampers’ One Pack=One Vaccine campaign. What began as a valuable project for a few months in the U.S. and Canada soon grew into a passionate global journey, taking me from L.A., Chicago and New York to Hamburg, Geneva and London. Most importantly, I was able to spend time with UNICEF meeting mothers and children in Sierra Leone, where one in four children will die before they reach the age of five.
