Peterson K
Peterson is a 9 year old boy and comes from a family of seven. The family depends on his aunt, a hairdresser. She used to earn a living through commissions but recently the saloon was closed. She is trying to put her own child through secondary school. The family is supportive of Peterson but they lack resources such as finances to take him to school. Peterson is willing to learn only he has been sick of late but is getting better.
