A weekly visit for Auma, 76, who lives alone in Jinja
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Auma is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Auma, who's 76. Auma lives alone in Jinja, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 233 kilometers away.
Auma loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
