Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Gulu

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Wambui, who's 79. Wambui lives alone in Gulu, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Wambui loves crossword puzzles, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
