A weekly visit for Nandini, 85, who lives alone in Jodhpur

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Nandini, who's 85. Nandini lives alone in Jodhpur, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Nandini loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
