Thandiwe's family

I requested family photos of Thandiwe a while ago, when I was hoping to start a fundraiser for her brother's education. Luckily I was able to foot the bill for the next year's tuition on my own, though I'll likely need some help next year. I would love to find out of it would be possible to get him a sponsor of his own. They're a lovely family.



These are the people according to the list I was sent:

The woman in the red and white skirt and blue tank top is Thandiwe's aunt Mary.

Thandiwe's mother Joyce is in the blue striped top, holding Thandiwe's baby cousin Christopher (Mary's son).

The tall boy in the gray shirt and the boy in the green golf shirt are more cousins, Joseph and Enock.

The woman in the floral top is Thandiwe's grandmother Beatrice, holding Thandiwe's sister, listed here as Gift and in the family report as Bupe (no idea about the name thing), and her husband (Thandiwe's grandfather) Joseph is next to her.

The young woman in white is Thandiwe's aunt Rabecca.

The little girl in white and pink is listed as "young aunt" Rabecca. With so many repeating names things have to get confusing!

John is said to be the little boy in blue - which seems surprising, as his age is listed as 12 in the family report! And of course, Thandiwe is the cheery little girl front and center in both pictures!

I'll be contacting CI to make sure that is indeed John in the picture, just out of curiosity.
