Could you share an hour a week with Sani?

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

Onitsha
I'm writing for my neighbor Sani, who's 73. Sani lives alone in Onitsha, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Sani loves baking, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
