Friendly visitor needed for a 91-year-old neighbor in Savar

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

Savar
I'm writing for my neighbor Omar, who's 91. Omar lives alone in Savar, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Omar loves knitting, 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
