A weekly visit for Opio, 73, who lives alone in Kampala

I'm writing for my neighbor Opio, who's 73. Opio lives alone in Kampala, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Opio loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
