Could you share an hour a week with Trung?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Trung, who's 78. Trung lives alone in Hồ Chí Minh City, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 263 kilometers away. Trung loves opera, 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. I hope life is good to you.
