Cristiano Ronaldo visits Singapore, surrounded by fans at Botanic Gardens

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is in Singapore to support a series of youth scholarships established by his long-time friend and philanthropist Peter Lim.

These include the NParks-Peter Lim Scholarship, which is meant to help less privileged youths pursue their interests, develop their skills and build capability in the landscaping, horticulture, ecology, veterinary and animal science sectors.

At the Singapore Botanic Gardens on Friday, the scholarship recipients, who are from the Institute of Technical Education, gathered with Ronaldo for a group photo.
