One day, while I was teaching in a squatter camp school outside Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, the World Bank distributed a two page leaflet about a self help housing scheme to every household in the camp. Most people could not read well and asked me to explain what it all meant. I was so upset that I went to the World Bank and suggested that if they really wanted to communicate with the people in the community they had to use a language they could understand. "Why not make a puppet show or produce a comic strip about the topic," I suggested. They thought this was a good idea and so 'Family Modesi's housing problems and how they can be solved' was born.

This was the first of many comic strip books and also the beginning of my interest in combining art and education. I also realised the need for local artists to learn the skills of communicating visual messages and I began to work as a visual aids production workshop facilitator. Years later, when I came to England, I joined ‘Health Images’, a charity organisation specialising in visual aids production workshops.

I also get commissioned by development organisations from all over the world to draw simple line drawings which they use for their educational publications. This also led to the publication of my book ‘Where there is no Artist'.
