Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Abuja

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Joy, who's 86. Joy lives alone in Abuja, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Joy loves chess, 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.
