Web Site Off but Kids Still Need

The children at ZTO are getting older and wiser. Unfortunately due to costs and time to maintain we had to drop the website but Larry & Diane Barbour and Leslie Bristow continue to work hard to help the orphanage.

Leslie and husband Logan are now expecting their first child and on her desk is still the picture of her brother, Zachary, who is much loved and remembered. The ZTO is a testament to the committment of the Barbour family, Ron Rowe and many others to help others and enjoy life.

The orphanage continues to provide for as many as they can and are always in need of help since the children in need seems to only increase.

Thanks to all for what you have done. Your caring is much appreciated.

SoapStone Carving Entrepreneurial Program Starting

Andrew Obiero and the Kistone Group have now started assembling for shipment to The Cotton Company in Wake Forest, N. C. the soapstone carvings done by his group and the children of the Zachary Taylor Orphanage (ZTO). This is part of the effort by the GJCAE - Graham Johnson Cultural Arts Endowment Fund, North State Bank, and HerbFest, 2008 to kick start the vocational skills/entrpreneurial program for the orphans of ZTO.

A first step in teaching vocational skills so the children can care for themselves and any future family by entering the society with job skills intact.

Congratuluations to Andrew and the Kistone Group.
