The wetlands crept up to the edge of homes. A house in this photo is sinking in the swamp.

Here we are on one of our last days in Masi. Zama, in purple, decided to join us.

About 58 False Killer Whales beached themselves on Long Beach about 10 minutes from where the team was staying. A van took about 22 of our team to the site where they hit the ground running toward the water to help the whales. Everyone was baffled as to how these creatures ended up here and why they kept swimming back to shore after they were put out to water.
Witnessing this was completely unreal. It was so sad watching the scared and worn out whales struggling. About 15 were saved.

Red Hill, a township which was largely destroyed in a fire last year. The rebuild opened doors for the All Nations team to come in and help rebuild. Now there homes are further apart, allowing room for personal gardens.
