Companionship wanted: Pandu's birdwatching and a cup of tea

Pandu lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Bandung
I'm writing for my neighbor Pandu, who's 89. Pandu lives alone in Bandung, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Pandu loves birdwatching, 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. I hope life is good to you.

        Stay strong. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Bandung.

        • Valentina Federica Bianchi

          Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

          • Yogesh A. Acharya

            hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Saket!

            • Amna Kausar Bhatti

              rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                Hope it all works out, Dwi. Shared this with my family.
