Companionship wanted: Naliaka's knitting and a cup of tea

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Naliaka, who's 94. Naliaka lives alone in Kasarani, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Naliaka 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.
