A weekly visit for Chebet, 79, who lives alone in Mombasa

Chebet lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Chebet, who's 79. Chebet lives alone in Mombasa, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 387 kilometers away. Chebet loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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. Thank you for reading my story.
