A weekly visit for Maryam, 72, who lives alone in Gujranwala

Maryam lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Maryam, who's 72. Maryam lives alone in Gujranwala, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 747 kilometers away. Maryam loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
