Visit with a Russian-speaking man who lives in the Outer Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco. The gentleman is in his 70s and experiencing some memory loss. He would appreciate a weekly visitor to take walks, chat, playing chess. He also enjoys gardening and would welcome you to join him in that. Daytime preferred,. Ideally, Tuesday or Thursday. But - if you're interested, we can work with your schedule! A Russian-speaking volunteer with an interest in engineering and technical know-how / curiousity would be ideal.
