Could you share an hour a week with Werner?

I'm writing for my neighbor Werner, who's 81. Werner lives alone in Dortmund, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Werner loves birdwatching, 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. Thank you for reading my story.
