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.

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.

U.S. Fund for UNICEF President and CEO Caryl Stern recently visited Sierra Leone with Pampers “One Pack = One Vaccine” campaign spokesperson Salma Hayek and Pampers representatives, to witness the effect of tetanus on mothers and newborns, and the positive impact of the Pampers/UNICEF program. She sent this post from the field.
