Could you share an hour a week with Halima?

I'm writing for my neighbor Halima, who's 74. Halima lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Halima loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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.
