Friendly visitor needed for an 89-year-old neighbor in Dar es Salaam
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all David is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor David, who's 89. David lives alone in Dar es Salaam, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
David loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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 hope life is good to you.

hope it all works out, Ruth. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Springfield.
