The company’s sales team visited the school on November 26, 2025, where they read the children’s book “Tropic Al’s Orange”—a story that follows a humble orange on its journey across islands. The interactive session was aimed at helping students understand the real-world processes behind shipping, trade, and teamwork.

The classroom buzzed with curiosity as the students engaged with the story, asking questions about ports, ships, and how items arrive in different islands. Teachers said the visit provided a valuable learning moment that fits naturally into lessons on geography, community helpers, and supply chains.

“Seeing young learners connect the dots between farms, ports, and their own kitchens is exactly why we bring Tropical Shipping into schools,” one team member explained, noting how storytelling helps simplify big concepts for young minds.

The Tropical Shipping team described the experience as both rewarding and inspiring, highlighting how hands-on demonstrations and relatable stories help children grasp the many steps and people involved in global trade.

Wednesday’s reading session became more than just a story—it was a practical lesson in connection, cooperation, and the invisible network of workers who help move goods across the region. For many of the students, it sparked a new appreciation for the journey behind something as simple as an orange.
