Photos and letter from Thandiwe's brother!

I sent a bit of cash Thandiwe's way to help her brother John return to school. I'd like to try to keep him there for as long as possible in hopes of bettering his job prospects when he's older. It might seem a bit frivolous considering how much people in this part of the world can struggle just for basic necessities, but in the long run I think this is worth it, especially since their father is no longer present in their lives and John as the oldest child (by seven years) will likely shoulder a lot of the burden of providing for his mother and sisters.

I'd love to look into finding John his own sponsor, but I have no idea how one might set that in motion. Any ideas?

Hi Molly, maybe you could post this to Lift One and show his beautiful photos and letter to see if someone might be interested in sponsoring him. Best wishes. He looks like a very nice young man. I would love to help if I could but I am strapped financially. If you wanted to do a co sponsorship, I might be interested in a couple of months, each of us contributing $11/month. Let me know.
