Act II, Scene 1.  A young man typing intensely. Zoom on the laptop screen.

... We put out yesterday the posters for the pilot run of the English Conversation Programme (ECP). We're fully oversubscribed.

My phone has been ringing constantly. My inbox is way full. I've not eaten yet. But I wanted you to know, whatever your time-zone: people here are really keen to improve their English - oral and written.

They're excited about the plan for an English-language library - great job on getting the premises and the donations for buying computers. But we need more books. Plenty more, asap. And then to launch.

He pauses; a smile.

And given what people here are telling me ... we need to start thinking about the next libraries and scaling up the ECP big time.

He signs.
