Looking for a friendly person in Dar es Salaam to visit Brian once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Brian, who's 77. Brian lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Brian loves chess, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Celaya.
praying for you, Akello. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Salem this morning.
Thanks for sharing this, Akello. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Dar es Salaam
