She had to walk the five or six kilometers up and down the mountain road to and from school with a limp. Because Wenna suffers from “clubfoot”, a condition that affects her during fetal life and causes her to walk abnormally later in life, in 2011 the Free Lunch Program came to Wenna's school to help the children with their lunches, and through the help of Free Lunch volunteers, Wenna has been able to make a contribution to the Free Lunch Program.
