"I taught maths to some of the kids but one of my favourite memories was when I was rapping and singing and they were mimicking my words and dancing away," Fleur told HELLO! "They were all clapping and smiling. These kids didn't even have shoes - they were just dancing in the sand."
Fleur and other celebrities including Myleene Klass are giving their support to Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day. "Being part of Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day is always part of the Christmas fun in my household," said mum-of-two Myleene.
Myleene Klass is also supporting the campaign
"Every child looks forward to Christmas but for so many, just getting through each and every day is a struggle. I've seen first-hand in countries like Nepal, the Philippines and Pakistan what women and children in poorer countries go through. Wearing your jumper won't just put a smile on the faces of those around you, but your participation will actually help change lives."
Christmas Jumper Day is on Friday 16th December, visit christmasjumperday.org.
