Unicef goodwill ambassador David Beckham enjoys a kickabout in Kathmandu yesterday with excited Nepalese youngsters during a visit for the UN Children's Fund...
The English football star and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham has met children at a temporary learning centre established in Kathmandu, Nepal, following two devastating earthquakes which hit the country earlier this year.
The UN Children's Fund says that children who are out of school for prolonged periods of time after a disaster are increasingly less likely to ever return to the classroom.
The school David Beckham visited is one of 1,500 temporary learning centres that UNICEF helped set up after the earthquakes destroyed more than 34,000 classrooms.
