it's time for a super sub.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Ah, take it right, then.

Orange throw.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Penalty!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(CHEERING)

'The game finishes 2-1.

'Our matchwinner

is six-year-old Noah.

'Noah lives with his family

in the village.'

Can you ask Noah what he had

for breakfast and for lunch today?

(HE TRANSLATES)

(NOAH SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE)

His breakfast was

weet potato... - Sweet potato...

- ..and water. - ..And water.

- They do have sweet potato every meal.

- Every day, every meal.

No protein.

So I heard, to compensate

for the children not eating

the right foods,

some of the parents

provide them with fizzy drinks.

Yep, they do.

Do you think parents understand?

They don't.

It's just because of the low price.

Thank you for sharing that with me

and thank you for letting me

come to the village and play,

and be part of this game.

It was special for me. My first game

on this trip so... it was a good one.

- We are the lucky ones.

- Thank you.

Good, Noah.

Good?

Ok.

'My brief visit to Papua New

Guinea has been amazing,

'but we need to get going.

'We have almost 5,000 miles to cover

to our next destination.'

'Stage two of the trip

means a ten-hour flight to Nepal.

'I get my first glimpse

of the Himalayas and Everest.

'In 2015, Nepal was devastated

by two earthquakes,

'killing nearly 9,000 people.

'It destroyed villages,

schools and vital services,

'leaving millions of people homeless.

'The country is slowly recovering.

'I arrive in Kathmandu

'and the preparation begins

for my second match.'

Hey, how are you?

How many do you reckon you can do?

With a bag on your back. Go on.

- A couple.

- Go on, mate.

I thought he was going to say,

"I reckon I can do ten."

They'd just break.

High altitude, isn't it?

Come on, David, let me

see those muscles working.

Phew! That's enough.

News of our arrival has been

broadcast in the local media.

It looks like the crowd are just

as happy to be here as I am.

David!

Oh, my God.

'Nepal is facing a fuel

crisis at the moment

'so I jump in an electric tuk-tuk.'

These are great, by the way.

I want one of these at home.

Ooh!

I'll tell you what -

bit spongy, these brakes.

(HORNS BLARE)

We love David Beckham!

I'm on my way to Bhaktapur,

an ancient town

on the outskirts of Kathmandu.

Off road!

Uncle Albert!

Before the game,

I'm going to visit Padma School,

which was badly hit

by the earthquake.

(CROWD CHANTS):

David! Beckham!

David! Beckham!

The crowds are getting

bigger and bigger.

(CROWD SHOUTS)

But we somehow manage

to squeeze into Padma School.

I'm here to meet a student who is

going to play in the game later on.
