Salma Hayek has never been shy about using her fame to aid the less fortunate of the world. But in a much-watched video shot last year and originally aired on Nightline, the Unicef ambassador is hands-on about her passion. Taped during Hayek's humanitarian mission to Sierra Leone to raise awareness about maternal neonatal tetanus last October, the actress – who gave birth to her own baby daughter Valentina on Sept. 21, 2007 – casually takes another mother's baby boy into her arms and begins to feed him. "She saw this baby suffering from malnutrition and she was still lactating from having had her own baby. She felt, 'Why can't I help this child out?' " says a source familiar with the situation."The mother was malnourished and didn't have the necessary nutrients. She wasn't lactating. She was a frail woman, so Salma wanted to help her out," says the source. "She didn't think anything bad of it. She thought she was doing good for the child."
