Friendly visitor needed for a 94-year-old neighbor in Dar es Salaam
Collins lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Collins, who's 94. Collins lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country.
Collins loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nha Trang donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nha Trang.
good luck, Opio. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
