Warm celebrations for the dreamer who helped build a house in 3 Hours, 44 Minutes & 59 Seconds!
This week we celebrate one of our greatest treasures at Habitat Auckland, Warren Jack! ๐
Warren has been involved with Habitat since its early days in New Zealand (commencing in 1995). Starting as a volunteer, he then led our team as Executive director of Habitat Auckland for many years and currently ensures
all our health and safety requirements are A1 standard. ๐ง๐
Warren Jack was the man behind the dream to break Habitat for Humanity's World Speed Record building a 4 Bedroom House in 3 Hours, 44 Minutes & 59 Seconds..... what an amazing event that was! ๐
This vintage caravan drawing was supposed to be a gift for Warren's retirement...but lucky for us this isn't happening any time soon so we decided to present it to him in celebration of his 70th birthday! ๐
Wishing you a very happy birthday week Warren!
May you have many happy caravan adventures when we allow you a few days off....๐คฉ ๐
How can we begin to thank you for all you have done through the years for so many...changing lives, tirelessly working toward Habitat's mission that everyone deserves a decent place to live!
A humble, heartfelt Thank you from all of us x๐๐

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).

The areas relevant to your local board are:
