Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Jakarta Selatan

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Budi, who's 72. Budi lives alone in Jakarta Selatan, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Budi loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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 for reading my story.
