Friendly visitor needed for an 82-year-old neighbor in Dhaka
Shirin lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh421 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Shirin, who's 82. Shirin lives alone in Dhaka, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Shirin loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
Glad we found this place.

stay strong. Wishing Shirin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Casablanca so I could bring a meal. Take care
Thinking of you, Rafiq. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
good luck, Rafiq. Shared this with my family.
wishing you peace, Rafiq. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Tema.
