Companionship wanted: Selamawit's crossword puzzles and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Adama to visit Selamawit once a week.

Adama
I'm writing for my neighbor Selamawit, who's 82. Selamawit lives alone in Adama, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Selamawit loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
