Could you share an hour a week with Auma?
Looking for a friendly person in Dodoma to visit Auma once a week.
🇹🇿 Dodoma, Dodoma, Tanzania491 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Auma, who's 73. Auma lives alone in Dodoma, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Auma loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Keep going, James. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
keep going. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Minneapolis.
