At the school guest speaker event, Diego and Ana helped Henry set up the welcome desk while George tested the microphone. The guest speaker, Dr Patel, smiled and asked for a quick check before the doors opened. “We’ve made badges for everyone,” Henry said, “but I want to be sure the count matches the plan.” Ana explained that the plan was simple: each of the 18 audience seats would have exactly 2 badges ready, one for a visitor and one for a helper. Diego added, “We also prepared 6 extra badges for last-minute arrivals.” George lined the badges into neat stacks and asked Henry to announce the total to the room, so the team could label the storage box correctly. Henry looked at the stacks and nodded, ready to say the number out loud.
