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.

Keep going. This could happen to any of us. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
