Companionship wanted: Mugisha's birdwatching and a cup of tea
Mugisha lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Mugisha, who's 92. Mugisha lives alone in Thika, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Mugisha loves birdwatching, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Belo Horizonte
