Te Kira House Dedication

On 30 May volunteers gathered to celebrate the dedication of the Te Kira family home.  The weather outside was in contrast to the warm atmosphere inside the house as guest speaker MP for Mana Luamanuvao Winnie Laban acknowledged the commitment and support of the many volunteers who had played a role in helping to build the house. 

The keys to the house were presented by Jonathan Falloon on behalf of major sponsor AMP Foundation and Rev Sandy Williams presented bibles to the family on behalf of the NZ Bible Society.  Eldest daughter Crystal Te Kira was overseas at the time of the dedication, representing NZ at the international Waka Ama Championships. 

An estimated 300 volunteers and 47 businesses have contributed to this 5-bedroom home, the largest build by LNI affiliate to date.
