A weekly visit for Garba, 94, who lives alone in Bonny

Looking for a friendly person in Bonny to visit Garba once a week.

Bonny
I'm writing for my neighbor Garba, who's 94. Garba lives alone in Bonny, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Garba loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
