A weekly visit for Ekow, 72, who lives alone in Accra

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

Accra
I'm writing for my neighbor Ekow, who's 72. Ekow lives alone in Accra, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 771 kilometers away. Ekow loves baking, 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. Glad we found this place.

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Likoni so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Accra.
