Friendly visitor needed for a 90-year-old neighbor in Manila

I'm writing for my neighbor Nenita, who's 90. Nenita lives alone in Manila, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 433 kilometers away. Nenita loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
