A weekly visit for Shefali, 79, who lives alone in Dhaka

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Shefali, who's 79. Shefali lives alone in Dhaka, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Shefali loves chess, 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 hope life is good to you.

    Hope things get better soon, Rahim. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      Sending love. Wishing Shefali a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
