RHINELANDER - Some people call the Northwoods home, but one Northwoods woman calls Africa her home.
Twenty-year-old Tanya Whittaker grew up doing missionary work with her family in Sekanani, Kenya. The village is about six to eight hours from the capital city of Nairobi. Since she was two, she helped her father, a Northwoods native, and her mother, from Germany, serve the small community, building structures and teaching Christianity.
In 2012, she returned to Wisconsin at the age of 18, and she says her homecoming was a culture shock.
