A weekly visit for Dung, 74, who lives alone in Hồ Chí Minh City

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Dung is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Dung, who's 74. Dung lives alone in Hồ Chí Minh City, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 418 kilometers away. Dung loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
