Could you share an hour a week with Varun?

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Varun, who's 79. Varun lives alone in Nagpur, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Varun loves chess, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

                    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
