"Toia Mai Te Waka Nei" is a waiata about teamwork. It reminds us that, like people pulling a waka together, we are stronger when we work together, help one another, and never give up.

Firefighters are battling to bring massive wildfires in France and Spain under control.
About 220,000 people have been evacuated in France, while in neighbouring Spain more than 75,000 people have been evacuated and a further 30,000 ordered to shelter in place, authorities said over the weekend, as Europe faces an intense summer heatwave.
The French blazes, which broke out last week near the Atlantic coast, are now only 15km away from the city of Bordeaux, with 240,000 residents.
A major risk is that temperatures in Bordeaux are set to rise to 37 degrees Celsius later this week, according to forecasts from France's weather office.
