Hi!

I was born in the 1970s in F.Rep.GERM. Today I am disabled mentally, so that I am totally and permanently unable to work. I would like to help Wikipedia to comply to the truth as exactly as humanly possible. The homepage of a workgroup that is quite tightly related to my person, can be found here.

Because I have to celebrate at March 24 in every year again as long as I am alive, and because tuberculosis might be quite a threat to everybody, I would like to mention here, that at that same day World Health Organisation and other such organisations desire to have World Tuberculosis Day.
