A weekly visit for Genet, 80, who lives alone in Addis Ababa
Genet lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Genet, who's 80. Genet lives alone in Addis Ababa, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 261 kilometers away.
Genet loves old films, 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.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
Good luck, Roman. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
