OK, over their clothes, but still

How collecting diapers helps anti-bullying is a bit beyond me...

But the teacher's wearing diapers seems like good motivation.

I don't know. Odd story. Interesting though.

The anti-bullying campaign came first and inspired the second set of girls to do their own project which was a diaper drive.

That was my first reaction, too. It just seemed a bit strange to run the two stories together like that, especially when the picture is of teachers wearing diapers. But both causes are good in the end.

I suppose. And can I now ask what the point of a diaper drive is?? I assume I'm not getting any of them...

I can answer this. My wife works for the health dept and they regularly receive large (sometimes *very* large) donations of baby diapers to give to needy/poor families. If the health dept has a surplus, they give them to the local food bank who also run a similar programme. I presume that's where the diapers they were collecting ended up.

I suppose that makes sense.

I just thought it was a big jump from "Helping Haiti" to "Diaper Drive".

I was wondering if there was a correlation.
