A hard-working tele-marketer called up an elderly woman one day, and began to solicit her for his product. The woman was so in need of a little conversation, she could not let the young man off the phone - but instead was compelled to keep him talking. Only did their talk end when she had finally purchased from him even more than she could afford. MORAL: lest they be scammed, many people just need someone for a short time, to converse with and to share.
"Once you choose HOPE, anything's possible."

I am worried about my father because he lives alone and I have spent some sleepless nights worrying about my dad. He is 50- years-old and living alone in Arusha because both my sister and I are married. We are his only children and my mother passed away many years ago. I live in Moshi but my sister lives in England. She visits once every 2 or 3 years. My father did not re-marry because he believes that a man should only marry once in his lifetime. He is a busy man but he does feel very lonely. Living in a home alone with no one to ask even for water is very hard indeed. I wonder at times how can I make things easier for him? It would be a good idea for him to have a contact companion, so we are going to register him as a member here.
