Companionship wanted: Farhana's chess and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Farhana is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Farhana, who's 76. Farhana lives alone in Dhaka, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Farhana loves chess, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending strength, Tamanna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Dhaka.
hope it all works out, Tamanna. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
