Friendly visitor needed for a 72-year-old neighbor in Gqeberha

Dineo lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Dineo, who's 72. Dineo lives alone in Gqeberha, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Dineo loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Hang in there, Sibusiso. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
