Victoria & Brooklyn Beckham join forces for UNAIDS charity mission

She's usually seen in exclusive locations and glamorous parties. But Victoria Beckham swapped her lavish lifestyle for the real world when she visited central Kenya on Saturday. The 41 year-old designer was joined by her teenage son, Brooklyn, 17, as they continued their UNAIDS charity mission in Africa.   Joining local residents for a series of out-reach programmes and photo opportunities, Brooklyn followed in his father's footsteps and played a game of football. This was the second trip to Africa for Victoria after she was appointed UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador in 2014. Arriving on Wednesday, she and Brooklyn first visited Kiambu country, north of Nairobi, and witnessed a clinic of the Beyond Zero campaign which works to reduce maternal and child mortality in Kenya.   Addressing the audience, Victoria, who was wearing baggy jeans and a white UNAIDS T-shirt, said: 'We have had an incredible time here in Kenya. We are learning so much and we have met some phenomenal people on our trip. 'I'd like to take the opportunity to say how impressed I am with the AIDS response and the progress made here. 'This is such an exciting day and I would like to thank you so much for including us in such an important day and also a fun day.   Brooklyn posted a photo on Instagram of him holding a newborn baby that had been named after him. They then spent the day in Kisumu, in the east of Kenya, which has one of the highest HIV rates in the country, where she met with children and parents living with HIV. Local media showed the Beckhams were entertained by traditional dancers from the Luo tribe, and Victoria had a dance along with one of her hosts.
