Companionship wanted: Nalini's chess and a cup of tea

I'm writing for my neighbor Nalini, who's 88. Nalini lives alone in East London, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 401 kilometers away. Nalini loves chess, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
