A weekly visit for Kavitha, 93, who lives alone in Siliguri

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

Siliguri
I'm writing for my neighbor Kavitha, who's 93. Kavitha lives alone in Siliguri, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 872 kilometers away. Kavitha loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. Glad we found this place.

          Take care, Dinesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Paarl so I could bring a meal. Love from Heliopolis
