400 whales stranded on New Zealand beach

[Catherine]

Four hundred whales ran aground on a New Zealand beach. This is a staggering number of whales.
Many have died, hundreds.

However hundreds of volunteers are struggling to save as many as they can.

It is a heart break that so many whales have been stranded and that so many have already died.
It is wonderful to see the human response. People have dropped everything to help the whales. Some have survived because of human efforts. People are doing everything they can.

It is a complicated business.

This is one of those times when we can be proud of being human. Sometimes we really step up and do our best.

The fact that they saved so many is a miracle.
There are lots of angels on this planet.
