A weekly visit for Victor, 94, who lives alone in Mbale

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

Mbale
I'm writing for my neighbor Victor, who's 94. Victor lives alone in Mbale, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Victor loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.

    You're not alone, Bakari. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
