Could you share an hour a week with Tumusiime?
Looking for a friendly person in Gulu to visit Tumusiime once a week.
🇺🇬 Gulu, Northern Region, Uganda999 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Tumusiime, who's 80. Tumusiime lives alone in Gulu, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Tumusiime loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.
