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.

      Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Albuquerque donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Albuquerque.
