Could you share an hour a week with Okta?

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

Ubud
I'm writing for my neighbor Okta, who's 79. Okta lives alone in Ubud, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 231 kilometers away. Okta loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

    Thinking of you and your family, Sari. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
