Joseph is a 14-year-old boy in grade 6, currently living with his peasant mother after his father was imprisoned. This has created a significant gap in their family, as Joseph and his siblings miss not only their father's love but also access to basic needs, including schooling. The burden weighs heavily on their dear mother, who must work extra hard to provide for the family. Despite financial struggles, Joseph has been in good health, which has been a blessing to his mother as he often helps with the home cores
and with grazing the family's animals.
