A weekly visit for Shirin, 80, who lives alone in Gazipur

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Shirin, who's 80. Shirin lives alone in Gazipur, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Shirin loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
