Companionship wanted: Janani's chess and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Janani, who's 74. Janani lives alone in Muzaffarpur, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Janani loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Sending love, Harish. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Muzaffarpur.
