Salma was actually able to breast feed a baby that was sick with tetnus while she was in Africa. Believe it or not I admire that. I know a lot of people think that is gross but what a gift to be able to give. This was such a moving story. It made me want to be right in the middle of it all. This is something I would love to do when my children are older. I watched as a 7 day old child as she took her last breath and died from tetanus. As they said on the special, these are "stupid deaths" they are deaths that can be prevented with $.17! I am going to try to support the cause by buying Pampers, if our budget will allow.
