Hey guys,
I got your comment in my email. You can reach my at kmfornoff@gmail.com. Guess what -- I'm also Community NRM/Forestry Extension! I've been in contact with two others who are also in the same program. Shoot me an email and I'll give you more info.

The language is Chichewa or chiChewa, and also known as Nyanja or chinyanja. Chi means langugae. I found one website where you can listen to a portion, and other sites that tell you more about the language. I didn't find anyplace where I can order.
Look at these sites and let me know if you have a place you want me to contact other than what I found.
You can find all my contact information in Zion's directory or call pastor.
