Cristiano Ronaldo Comes To Kupang, Brings His Own Kitchen

JAKARTA Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be bringing his own kitchen when making a charity visit to Kupang, East Nusa Tenggaran.

The former Real Madrid player is scheduled to arrive in Jakarta on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, and then continue his journey to NTT on Wednesday, February 19, 2025.

The leader of the Graha Kasih Indonesia Foundation, Dr. Susy Maria Kapitana, as the facilitator of Ronaldo's arrival, said that the superstar did not live in Kupang for three days of his activities there.

"Given the security and facilities he used, he also came to bring his own kitchen. After the event, the plane took him to Bali and then came again, so he went back and forth. Did not stay in Kupang," said Susy.

A number of important agendas will be carried out by Ronaldo while in Kupang. One of them is to review the locations that will be used for the construction of an international standard cancer hospital.

Susy said that the hospital would be built in the West Kupang area and the plan for the first new deployment would be carried out at the end of March 2025.

"We'll visit Ronaldo there to see the location. The location has not been done. They come who will pay for the land," he said.

Susy revealed that besides that CR7 will also hand over assistance for the construction of orphanages, churches, and cars, and transportation gifts to the Al Hikmah Islamic boarding school in Namosain.

"Then, we will visit Christian schools in Tuapukan, which if we look at them should be helped. We will visit there. We will also come to the Tiberias Foundation in Naunu Village," said Susy.

Another agenda that Ronaldo will run is a gathering with the Provincial Management (Pengrov) of the NTT PSSI and the NTT Government at the NTT Governor's Office.

This is not the first time Ronaldo has come to Indonesia. The players who have defended Manchester United have previously been here in 2005 and 2013, respectively.

In 2013, he came as an ambassador for mangrove rescue. At that time, the world soccer superstar helped plant trees with the Sixth President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

As for 2005, Ronaldo came to Indonesia to visit the victims of the Aceh tsunami. The visit made him Martunis his adopted son.
