A weekly visit for Danjuma, 78, who lives alone in Nsukka

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Danjuma is asking for.

Nsukka
I'm writing for my neighbor Danjuma, who's 78. Danjuma lives alone in Nsukka, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Danjuma loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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.
