Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Dar es Salaam
David lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor David, who's 78. David lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
David loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
