A weekly visit for Ramesh, 79, who lives alone in Varanasi
Ramesh lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Ramesh, who's 79. Ramesh lives alone in Varanasi, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Ramesh 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

take care, Santhosh. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
