Warm celebrations for the dreamer who helped build a house in 3 Hours, 44 Minutes & 59 Seconds!

Fiona Gallacher from

This week we celebrate one of our greatest treasures at Habitat Auckland, Warren Jack! ๐Ÿ˜‡

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. ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ‘

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! ๐ŸŽ‰

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! ๐ŸŽ‚

Wishing you a very happy birthday week Warren!
May you have many happy caravan adventures when we allow you a few days off....๐Ÿคฉ ๐Ÿš

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 x๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ€
