Companionship wanted: Lia's opera and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Lia, who's 74. Lia lives alone in Medan, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Lia loves opera, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
