Compiled by Gabriel Dinda.
Many say that in the 21st Century, illiteracy is not considered as the failure to read and write but the failure to take up the many opportunities which are within our reach. During this time where we are advised to be home, we can do so much more with ourselves. I thought I could encourage you to do this by compiling some of the platforms you can make good use of. I hope it helps
