Fourthly, a heartfelt “thank you“ to all those who purchased AKEN’s lottery tickets. The lucky draw winners were Jade Arro, Kevin, Lillian Lennox, Aino Mitt, Piret Noorhani, Pieter Sigmunde, Brent Smith, Linda Turu and Imbi Uukkivi. But, let’s face it, the luckiest winner of all was AKEN because with the extra $1,700.00 earned from the lottery, we get to do more good things, we get to help others .....and what on earth is better in life than that?
