Translation required

I wonder if some one could translate English to Pidgin for me.
My wife and I were in Papua New Guinea from 1971 to the end of 1973. I was based in Daru for about 15 months then in Wewak for the remainder of that time. Flying Islanders for Biscuit Ears, for better or worse.
Anyway during that time (before computers and almost a decent telephone system) we sent a lot of letters back home. Now family members saved all our letters and we now have them back. My wife has put them all in a folder and would like to label them “Letters from the Jungle” in Pidgin. About the only pidgin I can remember is ,pek pek, puk puk and push push (spelling?)
Any help appreciated.
