Companionship wanted: Victor's old films and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Dar es Salaam to visit Victor once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Victor, who's 92. Victor lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 267 kilometers away. Victor loves old films, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

          Sending good thoughts, Florence. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
