After capturing the innocence of his childhood, the head of the Entertainment Authority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Counselor Turki Al-Sheikh, fulfilled the wish of the orphan Syrian child whose father was killed in the devastating earthquake, by visiting Saudi Arabia to watch Al-Nasr Club and his favorite player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Days following the video of the orphan child was published announcing his wish, Al-Sheikh posted on his Twitter account, on Saturday night, a tweet attached to a video that showed the arrival of the Syrian child with his mother and siblings.
“I am happy”
And the tweet was attached: “May God write the reward of his joy to my Lord, may God protect him, and His Highness, our inspiring leader and godfather of the vision, may God protect him and the honorable Saudi people. Today I am happy, praise be to God.”
While the child did not control himself, he expressed his overwhelming joy at the fulfillment of his wish, saying: “Thank you, His Excellency Counselor Turki Al-Sheikh, for this sweet invitation, and God grant you everything you wish for, O Lord, and I do not believe that I came to Saudi Arabia.”
In addition, social media celebrated the incident, and many circulated a video of the child playing and having fun throughout the kingdom, hoping to meet his favorite player soon.
“My father is just dead.” And the Kingdom: Preach, my son!
It is noteworthy that the story of the Syrian child was spreading like wildfire less than two weeks ago, when Emirati journalist Munther Al-Mazki published a video of the child, during his recent visit to Syria as part of the UAE relief campaign following the devastating earthquake that struck both Syria and Turkey, in which he expressed his wish to see the star Cristiano. Ronaldo, stressing his love for the Saudi club Al-Nasr.
The video quickly spread, especially since the child won everyone’s sympathy following he explained that “his father is dead.”
Then the response came from the Saudi advisor, Turki Al-Sheikh, looking for him, inviting him to visit Saudi Arabia.
Counselor Turki Al-Sheikh responded in a tweet posted on his Twitter page at the time, in which he said: “Oh my son, I preach and welcome you and your mother with you.
Al-Mazki published the clip, saying: “My father is dead, but … a word a Syrian child said with his spontaneity, but it broke our hearts with the story of his love for the Saudi club Al-Nasr and his wish to meet his favorite player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
While the new death toll from the devastating double earthquake that struck southern Turkey and northern Syria has reached more than 51,000 victims in both countries.
