The Fort McMurray Fire and Mandela's Children



I must admit when I first saw that 300 South African firefighters had arrived to help battle the Fort McMurray wildfire I was a bit shocked.

I wondered didn't we have enough firefighters in this country to finish the job ourselves?

But then I saw them singing and dancing at the airport, and I thought oh never mind. 

Who could complain about such a fabulous group of young men and women?

But I didn't realize what a truly great story it was until I learned this.
