Companionship wanted: Bilal's birdwatching and a cup of tea
Bilal lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Bilal, who's 77. Bilal lives alone in Shubra, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Bilal loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

Good luck, Farah. Shared this with my family.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Sapporo.
