David Beckham has broken a heart or two in his day, but this time around it was the kids of Swaziland who managed to toy with his emotions.

The 41-year-old former footballer was in Makhewu, an area experiencing severe drought, as part of his ‘7: The David Beckham Unicef Fund’ initiative.

TimesLive with what Becks had to say:

“As a father of four, it was hard to hear their stories about the daily challenges they face, which are now being made so much worse by this devastating drought”…

He said: “Children who are already incredibly vulnerable because of HIV are now at risk from a new crisis that could have a devastating effect on their lives.

“Across eastern and Southern Africa millions of children are at risk from hunger, water shortages and disease. I am speaking out for these children to make sure they are not forgotten at a time when they so desperately need our help”.

Pop onto his Instagram account and here are the last two images he posted (at the time of writing):

Sometimes there are days and people that inspire you and make you feel proud that you have made a difference through the work we do on 7 Fund…this was one of those moments…. @unicef

He may sound a little odd when he opens his mouth, but at least he can say his heart is in the right place.
