A weekly visit for Hamza, 78, who lives alone in Mardan

I'm writing for my neighbor Hamza, who's 78. Hamza lives alone in Mardan, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Hamza loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. I hope life is good to you.
