Companionship wanted: Dinda's cricket and a cup of tea

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

Jakarta
I'm writing for my neighbor Dinda, who's 86. Dinda lives alone in Jakarta, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Dinda loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.

      hang in there, Sri. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
