On treatment of cataract

With reference to the article Free cataract treatment in Tangerang, which appeared on page 8 of The Jakarta Post on May 12, we would like to clarify the following:

The second paragraph should have been worded as: "Cataract treatment is organized and financed by Lions Club Jakarta Metropolitan and the Canada Fund. Medical treatment is carried out by the Association of Indonesian Ophthalmologists (PERDAMI) and Tangerang Health Services in conjunction with the Lions Club Jakarta Metropolitan."
