Could you share an hour a week with Pedro?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Pedro is asking for.

Ciudad de México
I'm writing for my neighbor Pedro, who's 87. Pedro lives alone in Ciudad de México, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Pedro loves local history, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
