Unicef Goodwill ambassador David Beckham is currently in Cambodia, where he is visiting with children who have been the victims of abuse. Seeing as he's been working with Unicef for over ten years now (not to mention the fact that he has four kids of his own), this is clearly a cause very close to his heart.

The retired soccer star said in a statement, “I am here in Cambodia to meet children who have experienced violence, hear their stories and see what UNICEF and its partners are doing to keep these children safe. It is shocking that every five minutes a child dies because of violence somewhere in the world. This has to stop.”

Becks posted the photo above and added, "Today's amazing visit with @unicef to meet children affected by violence. Violence against any child is unacceptable. Children should never be in danger...great to see @unicef work & the smiles on these children's faces ..."

Earlier this year Beckham and UNICEF launched 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund to help protect children in danger. The Fund will help UNICEF deliver aid to children across the world, including those affected by violence in Cambodia.
