A weekly visit for Bappy, 76, who lives alone in Savar
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Bappy is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bappy, who's 76. Bappy lives alone in Savar, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Bappy loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Rahim. Wishing Bappy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Niter贸i this morning
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thanks for sharing this, Rahim. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Ottawa.
