Could you share an hour a week with Onyango?
Onyango lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Onyango, who's 75. Onyango lives alone in Fort Portal, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Onyango loves crossword puzzles, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Fort Portal
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Siliguri but we're thinking of you.
