A weekly visit for Iwan, 92, who lives alone in Denpasar

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Iwan, who's 92. Iwan lives alone in Denpasar, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Iwan loves old films, 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. Thank you for reading my story.
