Companionship wanted: Ubol's gardening and a cup of tea

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

Khon Kaen
I'm writing for my neighbor Ubol, who's 91. Ubol lives alone in Khon Kaen, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Ubol loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
