I live in a very big city, Buenos Aires. I have been drawing all my life, ever since I was a child as I didn’t have a TV. I enjoy most of all drawing comic strips and picturing myself and my kids in the illustrations that I create.

FRIDAY King Kambogo told the people about Nyungwe Forest and the animals that live there. 3
Then he told them about some bad men who wanted to cut down the forest to grow tea. Most of the people said, ‘We must help the forest!’ But there were two bad men listening to King Kambogo.

One of them said, ‘We must stop King Kambogo!’ The other said, ‘Let’s give him a stomach-ache with this medicine, then he can’t tell people about Nyungwe Forest and we can cut down the forest to grow tea!’

The next week Uncle Jack got a letter. It was from King Kambogo. ‘I must go and see King Kambogo in hospital!’ said Uncle Jack.

That afternoon Uncle Jack went to visit King Kambogo. King Kambogo wasn’t well! ‘I feel terrible!’ he said. ‘Some people from the television are coming to talk to me about Nyungwe Forest but I can’t talk to them. I’m too weak.’ The bad men were behind the curtain. ‘Ha Ha,’ they thought, ‘our plan is working!’
