David Beckham has played football with Nepalese children and visited a school in Bhaktapur that was damaged in April's devastating earthquake.
Beckham visited the Shree Padma Higher Secondary School, where classes are being held in temporary sheds after the April 25 earthquake that killed nearly 9,000 people.
He spent an hour talking to students in classrooms made out of a tin roof and bamboo walls.
The former England captain later played football with the children at an open courtyard surrounded by old Hindu temples.
"This is the best day of my life. I am so, so happy," said Seline Homija, an eighth-grade student who played with Beckham on the brick paved courtyard.
Hundreds of fans gathered to watch, and police used batons to control the crowd.
Beckham, who also recently visited children at a hospital in Papua New Guinea, is in Nepal for a day filming a documentary.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
