        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The West Jakarta city government will soon hold a\nsocial service event featuring mass circumcisions and free cataract\nsurgeries at the mayor\u2019s office in June and August. West Jakarta City\nSecretary Firmanuddin Ibrahim stated that the social service is intended\nfor underprivileged families in the area. \u201cWe plan to collaborate with\nthe private sector through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)\nprogrammes,\u201d Firman said in Jakarta on Thursday (7\/5). Firman mentioned\nthat 500 children from low-income families will participate in the mass\ncircumcision. His team has coordinated with district heads and village\nheads to survey their respective areas, prioritising orphans and\nresidents of the Rusun Angke, Tambora, and Rusun Pesakih in Cengkareng\npublic housing complexes. \u201cEach village will send its delegation. We are\nalso encouraging CSR involvement to provide additional pocket money for\nthe children to make them more enthusiastic,\u201d Firman said. Meanwhile,\nthe free cataract surgery programme will take place in August, targeting\n250 participants to mark the anniversary of Indonesia\u2019s Independence\nDay. \u201cThis programme is open to residents aged 15 to 80 years. The venue\nis currently being evaluated at several regional public hospitals in\nWest Jakarta,\u201d he added. Furthermore, Firman noted that this programme\nimpacts residents\u2019 productivity, including school-age prospective\npatients who face educational obstacles due to vision impairments. \u201cThis\nactivity is crucial. From being unable to see to regaining their sight,\nthey can then take package exams or return to work,\u201d he added. To\nanticipate no-shows due to technical issues, his team has asked the\norganising committee to prepare transportation facilities for\nparticipants and accompanying family members. The West Jakarta city\ngovernment will also mobilise PKK cadres, Dasawisma groups, and RT\/RW\nofficials to conduct initial screenings in the field. This synergy is\nexpected to ensure that all quotas are met and accurately targeted,\nwithout any residents missing out on the information. \u201cScreen all areas\nof West Jakarta, ensure that underprivileged residents receive this\nassistance,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>",
