A weekly visit for Fikru, 85, who lives alone in Jimma
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Fikru is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fikru, who's 85. Fikru lives alone in Jimma, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Fikru loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
