Companionship wanted: Kariuki's knitting and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Kariuki is asking for.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania305 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Kariuki, who's 84. Kariuki lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Kariuki loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
