Beckham takes Brooklyn to meet poor

Victoria Beckham has taken Brooklyn to meet some of the poorest kids in America.

The fashion designer and her 10-year-old son participated in a number of activities organised by Save The Children during a trip to Clay County in Kentucky, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Beckham said that the trip was inspiring and highlighted the importance of ensuring that all kids have the opportunity to succeed.

She stated: "What I saw in Clay County was the hope and promise inherent in every child. That's why we have to make sure every single child has a fair and equal start in life.

"Seeing Save The Children's innovative programmes in action, I know that we can begin to reverse the childhood poverty crisis.

"I'm pleased Brooklyn is learning that, by helping and joining other children, he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet."

Mark Shriver from Save The Children commented: "By advocating a fair start for all children, Victoria is setting a powerful example for learning about and understanding the challenges confronting too many children in America today.

"Instilling in Brooklyn the value of generational responsibility, she knows that a better sense of unity among children will make a future America and global community even greater.

"These trips create invaluable awareness-building and advocacy. We look forward to continuing to work with Victoria to ensure that every child in America gets a fair start in life."
