Irregular annual pulse from 2004 to 2023

Self-confidence and Self-reliance, Equal Opportunities and Equality

Hi. I am authenktic and I set up at least one new school every year, to help low-literate adults grow, to make them more self-confident and self-reliant, and also to make the world a little more equal and fair.
