Could you share an hour a week with Usman?
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Usman is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Usman, who's 91. Usman lives alone in Ogbomosho, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Usman 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
