For fifteen minutes that morning, before work could begin, Stephen took lots of pictures of the children: reading in the little library corner; playing on their climbing frame; next to the whiteboard or clustered round the vivarium with their sad lizard, Blizzard, sitting inside. The huge disparity between what these children had and what there was in Apostil’s village was utterly compelling. After that, they all moved into the gym and Stephen hosted a Q&A session about his trip to Africa, about what it was like there and even, briefly, on how they had brought back Apostil.

‘So,’ said Emily, Tina’s daughter. She was normally quiet as a mouse, so when she spoke, people tended to listen. ‘So they don’t have books in their school?’

‘Not many,’ said Stephen. ‘People don’t have much there.’

‘So we should send them some of ours,’ said Emily. Lots of agreeing noises went round the room. ‘And,’ she added, ‘maybe we could send them some money to help them buy more books.’

Stephen nodded.

‘I think maybe we should try and raise a little money for that.’

‘Yay!’ said the children.
