Volunteers Robyn Johnson & Zach Krapfl

Hello all, I’m Robyn. I live in Colorado where I work as a counselor, ride my bike, and used to take care of chickens. My husband Zach and I are in the midst of building our own home, so we thought it would be fun to take a break by building a house for someone else far, far away. This will be my first Habitat Global Village trip. I’ve wanted to go on one for a while, but have let work or dog duty get in the way. So silly. Be forewarned that Roger is my beloved if somewhat ornery father-in-law, therefore an added incentive for attending is to observe him in his element as well as score brownie points for life. While I’ve never been even remotely close to Kyrgyzstan, I’ve done a share of overseas travel and volunteering. I especially like that this trip has us staying with host families and know it will add to what we give and take away from this adventure. See you all in Kyrgyzstan!

I’m Zach, Robyn and I live in Paonia Colorado where I design electric bike and renewable residential energy systems. We’ll be incorporating a lot of my design ideas in a house we’re building in Paonia.

I can't wait to visit Kyrgyzstan, meet the people and return for my 2nd Habitat build (Nepal was my first) with many other returning friends as well as what already looks to be a great crew!
