REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KEBUMEN -- Office number 2 Gibran Rakabuming Raka silaturahmi to Pondok Pesantren Al-Kahfi Somolangu, Kebumen, Central Java, Wednesday (24/1/2024). On that occasion, Gibran said, he and President Prabowo Subianto had a program to renovate boarding houses and schools.

“If the Abadi Pesantren Fund is executed, we want it to be used as best as possible for the welfare of the cottage and santri. Our expectations of how forward the queue and the lodge can be more developed,” Gibran said.

Gibran said that the center is automatically smart to pay and good manners. But Gibran wants to queue more than that. Santri will be better if you master sharia economics, sharia banking, technological development and cyber security.

“So that Santri can face the challenges of the times and according to the needs of the industry. We want Santri to be able to compete with the other kids,” he said.

Gibran also conveys that we currently get a demographic bonus, where people of productive age are overwhelming. Gibran invited boarding school families to make the most of this momentum so that Indonesia can move towards a golden era in 2045.

“We are expanding the program to set up the golden generation. There is a free lunch and milk program for schoolchildren. So that in the future there is no more stunting. If children are healthy, they can learn lessons well,” he said.

The nanny of Ponpes Al-Kahfi KH Afifuddin said the boarding school family prayed for Gibran to contest the 2024 presidential election.

“To accept his promise. May he be given strength when given the opportunity to lead the nation,” he said.

Gibran is no stranger in Kiai Afif's eyes. Because Joko Widodo also visited this lodge before being elected President. According to Kiai Afif, Gibran's arrival today is like the father of tilas.

“Mr. Jokowi also came here nine years ago. He (Gibran) is his son,” Kiai Afif said.
