I'm writing for my neighbor Akinyi, who's 74. Akinyi lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Akinyi loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
