A weekly visit for Wasantha, 81, who lives alone in Colombo
Looking for a friendly person in Colombo to visit Wasantha once a week.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka425 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Wasantha, who's 81. Wasantha lives alone in Colombo, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Wasantha 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.
Thank you so much.
