A weekly visit for Oshan, 83, who lives alone in Galle

I'm writing for my neighbor Oshan, who's 83. Oshan lives alone in Galle, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 679 kilometers away. Oshan loves local history, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
