Companionship wanted: Bijay's local history and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Bijay, who's 77. Bijay lives alone in Kathmandu, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Bijay loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

    Take care, Kiran. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

      Hang in there, Kiran. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

        Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
