WHEN teen mother Angelita Kelly was left to raise her month-old son by herself after his father abandoned them for another woman, the then 17-year-old said she knew she had to do whatever it took to give her child a better life than the one she had.
From her first job as a waitress, to working as a domestic helper, a shopkeeper and a chicken farmer, Kelly did it all to ensure her son, Peter Nelson, would receive the education she was denied by her father, who preferred to spend his money in bars.
