Companionship wanted: Peter's baking and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Eldoret to visit Peter once a week.

Eldoret
I'm writing for my neighbor Peter, who's 82. Peter lives alone in Eldoret, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Peter loves baking, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
