Nice

Noble trajectory.

Really great. I Cannot fault this, at all. But what are the parents/guardians of these children doing? I grew up in a low-income household, in Wales, and my parents made sure I had everything I needed. My sister, too!

Quite right too. Should be, at a minimum, subsidized for all.

Excellent

Maybe now other areas of the world will help with this problem
