Friendly visitor needed for a 92-year-old neighbor in Dar es Salaam
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Kevin is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Kevin, who's 92. Kevin lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 489 kilometers away.
Kevin loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.

Wishing you the best, Paul. Hope you get there. Take care
Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Good luck, Paul. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Pune.
Thanks for sharing this, Paul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Badagry this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Paul. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Christchurch this morning. Love from Christchurch
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Nagpur!
