Donor profile: Merike Kalm on behalf of the Himel, Kalm and Roos Families
In making her second Viru Vanem donation, Merike Kalm does so on behalf of her extended family to nurture their ties to Estonia. Motivated by her late husband Dr. Jaan Roos' belief in the need to transition the community to KESKUS, Merike reflects on what a strong future for the community can hold.

KESKUS construction update
The monitoring equipment in the TTC subway tunnels is now fully installed! The ransomware attach continues to cripple the TTC internal systems, however. It's now in the 5th week and we await completion of final steps so that construction can commence. A separate newsletter will be sent out just as soon as possible!
Donor profile: Margus Aruja
Margus Aruja and his wife Susan Chapman and their adult children all live in Ottawa but Margus feels strongly about the need for KESKUS. The calibre of people working on the KESKUS project is part of the reason that compelled him to become a Viru Vanem donor. Read more of their journey here, eesti keeles siit.
