Obocho Peters is a student in the fifth grade in New York City. Although he is only 11 years old, he has Obocho's Closet, a thrift shop(二手货商店).
Obocho said the idea of the shop first came to his mind after he went to see the movie Avengers: Infinity War. He asked his mother Sasha Peters for the toys from the movie, but Sasha didn't have enough money. Then Obocho sold some of his old clothes to get the money for them. That was when Obocho thought that other kids around him might be the same as him and decided to help them.
"I want to play a role in making a better world. " Obocho says. He started Obocho's Closet in 2018 as an online thrift shop. It sold donated clothes for children under $ 10 to help poor families in need. In December, he got his first real shop in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush.
