More than one in three of the drunk driving victims was young, aged 15–24.

You now have the opportunity until the end of November to share your best tips about hiking trails and outdoor sports venues in Hamina and the surrounding areas.
This is how you participated:
1. Go for a walk and take a picture of your hike or exercise spot
2. Include location information
3. You can also write a little story about your trip
Send your tips to Hilma on WhatsApp, tel. 040 7517955, or by email. partnershiphouse.hilma@gmail.com or comment on Hilma's pinned FB post. A surprise prize will be drawn among all participants.
