including many Zulus, who dance joyfully.

May they all return safely home after fighting those huge wildfires.

and it is wonderful to see that help coming from all around the world. Our firefighters are exhausted and this help will give them the relief they need to recoup and get back into it.

Their singing brought me to tears.
