A weekly visit for Nalini, 81, who lives alone in Pretoria
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Nalini is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Nalini, who's 81. Nalini lives alone in Pretoria, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 691 kilometers away.
Nalini 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
