Salma Hayek
Actress Salma Hayek was honored by Cookie Magazine with the “2009 Smart Cookie Award”, an honor bestowed upon moms who are changing the world for the better.
Hayek is helping to make a difference through her role as spokesperson for UNICEF's Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus-Vaccination Campaign, a campaign with a mission to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus around the world.
Shares Hayek, “I started working with UNICEF on raising money for and awareness of the tetanus-vaccination campaign. Tetanus doesn't really exist in the United States, but it's still a threat in remote parts of the world, especially to new mothers and infants. By getting the vaccines to these places that need them and by training the locals in how to administer them, we can eliminate tetanus in three to five years. It can be history."
