A weekly visit for Babu, 87, who lives alone in Dhaka

Babu lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Babu, who's 87. Babu lives alone in Dhaka, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Babu loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Glad we found this place.

    Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Boston.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Tuhin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
