Strong Together-How the Jungle United to Heal the Fiery Forest

What happens when a classroom decides to care for something bigger than themselves?

In this episode of The Enchanted Jungle Community Podcast, I share the inspiring story of how animals of the Enchanted Jungle formed the FLA Green Team to come to the rescue of the Fiery Forest and restore it.

After destruction from deforestation came hope.

After loss came teamwork.

After challenges came renewal.

Through cooperation, responsibility, and kindness, the Enchanted Jungle’s FLA Green Team and the Fiery Forest volunteers under Mayor Luc Lion discovered that when everyone works together, even the most damaged forest can heal.

This episode reflects the heart of my children’s book, “The FLA Green Team to the Rescue”. This episode celebrates collaboration, environmental care, and the strength of community.

🌿 Together we learn that caring for our planet begins with small actions-and grows through community. Together we grow stronger.

✨ Episode 30 of The Enchanted Jungle Community Podcast is now live on Spotify! ✨

In this heartfelt episode, I reflect on a moment when a lifelong service and connection blossomed into a living community experience.

What began in the classroom as a simple guiding principle in my first children’s book, “The Friendly Learning Academy: The FLA Way”- Connect, Support, Cooperate, expanded into a powerful gathering of my family, friends, students and their family members, educators, and important community members at the book launch event of my second children’s book, “The FLA Green Team to the Rescue”. Together, we stepped into the Enchanted Jungle, where storytelling, gratitude, and belonging came alive beyond the walls of the school.

This episode is not only about celebration.
It is about the quiet power of a community.
It is about honoring those who stand beside us.
And it is about discovering that dreams grow stronger when nurtured by many hearts.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Episode 30- Building a Community Beyond the Classroom: The Day the Enchanted Jungle Came Alive

🎤New Podcast Episode will go live tomorrow, Friday, March 16.

✨ In this moment, the Enchanted Jungle stepped off the pages of the book and into the hearts of the children.

In this episode of The Enchanted Jungle Community Podcast, I reflected on a magical moment from my book launch celebration for “The FLA Green Team to the Rescue”.

During this event, I asked the children to close their eyes and imagine themselves entering into the magical Enchanted Jungle. As the story unfolded, the jungle came alive through imagination, laughter, and participation.

A particularly joyful moment came when the students and grandchildren who inspired the characters in the book stood up and were recognized. They received warm applause from the audience and were proudly presented Certificates of Excellence for their enthusiastic and active participation.

The celebration continued with a hands-on learning experience as the children and the students learned about planting seeds from Mrs. Foxy Fox 🦊, Master Gardener, connecting storytelling with real world experiences of how to take care of the world.

What made the day very special was the wonderful community that gathered together- families, students, educators, school administrators, staff, friends, and community members- all celebrating the joy of storytelling and learning.

This episode reflects on how stories can grow beyond the pages of a book and become a clear living experience that brings people together.
