David Beckham Plays Soccer With quake Survivors

Beckham, who also recently visited children at a hospital in Papua New Guinea, is in Nepal filming a documentary for UNICEF. “I am so, so happy”, said Seline Homija, an eighth-grade student who played with Beckham on the brick paved courtyard.

The father-of-four came up with the idea as a way of celebrating 10 years as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

The free-kick maestro earlier played a charity match at Papua New Guinea before arriving here in the capital today.

David will then face local teams on the streets of Buenos Aires (South America), Djibouti on the Horn of Africa, Miami in North America and frozen Antarctica.

His adventure will be eventually shown in a BBC programme entitled Beckham: For The Love Of The Game, which aims to show the global appeal of the handsome Game.
