Friendly visitor needed for a 78-year-old neighbor in Kasarani

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Githinji is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Githinji, who's 78. Githinji lives alone in Kasarani, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Githinji loves baking, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Hope things get better soon, Peter. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
