She had the opportunity to sit in the “teacher’s chair” to share her story with the class. From that point forward, she has loved writing and helping people. In 2009, she took a life-changing trip to Tanzania, Africa. It was on that trip she discovered how much poverty there was in this country. Wendtland founded 2 nonprofits to love and serve the widows and orphans.
