A weekly visit for Kyung-soo, 78, who lives alone in Seoul

Looking for a friendly person in Seoul to visit Kyung-soo once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Kyung-soo, who's 78. Kyung-soo lives alone in Seoul, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Kyung-soo loves crossword puzzles, 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.
