Who will expect a talented footballer and a Manchester United legend to hold a machete and cut a coconut into half?
Dwight Yorke, who is on a visit in Seychelles under the Airtel Rising Star Programme, started his second day with a visit at the vocational training centre for the disabled at North East Point yesterday.
He was accompanied by Airtel Seychelles country manager Vikram Sinha and other Airtel officers. He met the disabled where he gave them chocolates as treats.
One of the kids welcomed Mr Yorke and thanked him for his presence and three other kids presented him with a little token each made by themselves in the workshop at the centre.
Mr Yorke then presented the kids with soccer balls and he then had a group photo with the disabled and their instructors. Then he gave each disabled one of his signed photograph.
When the instructor presented Mr Yorke with a coconut and a straw to drink from, he returned the straw and drank the coconut just like we Seychellois do.
More shockingly was when he asked if there was a machete around. He took one and cut the coconut and he made a spoon out of the coconut skin for him to eat the coconut flesh.
