Question

Passage: "In a desert district, a postwoman named Kamala delivered letters on a bicycle across long, sandy tracks.

She pointed out that a letter can be kept, read again, and shown to grandchildren, while a phone call vanishes. She began to help elderly villagers write replies, holding their hands steady over paper. The village post office still buzzed, not because people rejected phones, but because a letter carried something a call could not: time, patience and touch." How did Kamala help elderly villagers?
