Friendly visitor needed for an 87-year-old neighbor in Pune

Looking for a friendly person in Pune to visit Praveen once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Praveen, who's 87. Praveen lives alone in Pune, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 459 kilometers away. Praveen loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
