Companionship wanted: Nargis's local history and a cup of tea
Looking for a friendly person in Dhaka to visit Nargis once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Nargis, who's 89. Nargis lives alone in Dhaka, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Nargis loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Jahid. Get well soon. My neighbor in Kaduna donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Makassar!
