The mission of this weblog is to teach those people who are not ChiTumbuka speakers located across the world, but have developed passion to learn this language. The idea of developing this weblog came up in early 2000 after noticing the ever growing demand to learn this language by Peace Corps volunteers, their families, Peace Corps staff, British VSOs, Canadian CUSOs, Missionaries, UN Volunteers, USAID and US Embassy staff, and other nationals not of Malawian origin living in Malawi.
