        "content": "<p>Banjarmasin (ANTARA) - With tearful eyes, Yennie Rosyanto Yudha could\nnot hide her emotion. She broke down in tears witnessing the happiness\nradiating from 12-year-old Aqila Rizkya and her older sister,\n16-year-old Humaira Ramadhania. The Chairwoman of the South Kalimantan\nRegional Police\u2019s Bhayangkari organisation had just handed over\ncorrective glasses to the two siblings. For the past two years, Aqila\nand Humaira have suffered from severe myopia, with prescriptions\nexceeding minus 5.00, categorised as high myopia. The condition blurred\ntheir vision and disrupted daily activities, including their studies.\nAqila is currently in the fifth grade at SDN Pangeran 3 Banjarmasin,\nwhile Humaira is in the eleventh grade at SMAN 11 Banjarmasin. Their\nfather, Niagara, admitted he could not afford glasses as the cost was\nbeyond the family\u2019s modest economic means. Living in a simple house on\nJalan Agatis III, North Banjarmasin District, and working irregular\njobs, Niagara could only resign himself to his daughters\u2019 visual\nimpairment. Help eventually arrived from the South Kalimantan Regional\nPolice, which purchased high-quality corrective glasses worth Rp6\nmillion for each child. Polda Kalsel also ordered special lenses\ndirectly from Thailand due to the severity of the sisters\u2019 vision\nproblems. Niagara was left speechless, expressing only gratitude for the\nassistance and hoping that Allah SWT would repay the kindness of the\nSouth Kalimantan Police Chief and all his staff. Norjenah Hayati, the\nhomeroom teacher for class V at SDN Pangeran 3 Banjarmasin, said Aqila\nis an intelligent child with a high enthusiasm for learning. Despite her\nvisual limitations, Aqila remained focused during lessons. \u2018I sometimes\nfeel sorry for her, so I place Aqila at the front so she is closer to\nthe blackboard,\u2019 she revealed. Ahmad Syadzali, Head of SDN Pangeran 3\nBanjarmasin, also appreciated the police\u2019s initiative in providing free\nglasses to several students at his school. He noted the aid was very\nbeneficial and precisely targeted for the students in need. The\ncorrective glasses are not merely a visual aid, but also a bridge of\nhope for children to continue learning and achieve a better future.<\/p>",
