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

I'm writing for my neighbor Imran, who's 81. Imran lives alone in Mthatha, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 811 kilometers away.
Imran loves local history, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Coimbatore.
