It might be the last place you’d expect to see the fashionable former Spice Girl, but Victoria Beckham spent this week in Clay County, Kentucky, one of the poorest counties in America. Posh made the trip to raise awareness about childhood poverty and the work being done by Save the Children to help kids here in the U.S. Along with her son, Brooklyn, Victoria attended an after-school reading program, where they read with kids and gave away sneakers and backpacks. Posh even got in on some soccer action with the students - yep, that's her in the photo! When asked about her son, Victoria said: “I’m pleased Brooklyn is learning that by helping and joining other children he can play a role in making this generation the greatest yet.

We love seeing a British celeb doing good here in America. Want to join Posh and do something to help fight poverty? Look over our global poverty page, which has tons of info on the issue. Then run a school supply drive and donate what you collect to a local family shelter or after-school program. And be sure to check out Save the Children’s website to find out more about what they do.
