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

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Wulan, who's 79. Wulan lives alone in Surabaya, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 832 kilometers away. Wulan 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. Thank you so much.

      Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Surabaya.

        wishing Wulan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Love from Hubballi.
