Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Dar es Salaam
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Irene is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Irene, who's 86. Irene lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Irene loves birdwatching, 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.
Glad we found this place.
