Listen to the story
Italy had a big ship called the Garibaldi. It was a carrier for planes. Now the ship is going to Indonesia.
The ship will help fight fires in Indonesia. It will start work as soon as it arrives.
Fires can be very bad. They can burn forests and homes. Countries need help to stop them.
A man named Purbaya talked about money too. He said there is no new economic help yet. He said money for disasters is ready. This money can go to a group called BNPB if they ask.
BNPB is an Indonesian agency. It helps people after disasters like fires and floods.
The Garibaldi is now a symbol of help. People say it has changed things in Southeast Asia.
