A weekly visit for Vichai, 78, who lives alone in Nakhon Ratchasima

I'm writing for my neighbor Vichai, who's 78. Vichai lives alone in Nakhon Ratchasima, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Vichai loves birdwatching, 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.
