A weekly visit for Musa, 88, who lives alone in Gwagwalada

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

Gwagwalada
I'm writing for my neighbor Musa, who's 88. Musa lives alone in Gwagwalada, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Musa loves crossword puzzles, 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. Thank you for reading my story.
