A weekly visit for Wambui, 87, who lives alone in Entebbe

Wambui lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Entebbe
I'm writing for my neighbor Wambui, who's 87. Wambui lives alone in Entebbe, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Wambui loves gardening, 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. Glad we found this place.

    Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning. God bless!
