Thank you for supporting Not Forgotten over the years! They're making incredible strides towards breaking the cycle of abandonment. If you'd like to help with what we're doing, here are 2 things you can do: Step 1: VOTE FOR THIS VIDEO www.projectforawesome.com/watch?v=-7xWPxsl5_s Step 2: Support them on Patreon www.patreon.com/notforgotten

This guy is one of the best people on UKposts, period. Everything he does he does because he genuinely loves learning, letting others learn with him, and helping those in need. Unlike so many who do these kinds of things, there is no hint of ego about him you will ever detect. It is people like this that change the world. If you see this Destin, keep up the good work!

Why is it that UKposts never recommended Not Forgotten to me before, been watching you for like 4 years now. More video about that please!

The moment when you said that the switch occured, from them changing from "the Americans are here, let's party" to "why are you guys visiting my home?" that brought tears to my eyes. That really is an awesome project that needs to continue so they can break this cycle of abandonment!

Good on you mate, we really need more people like your wife and family.

These are some of my favorite videos. I'm not-religious but I support this project entirely. I love what you're doing. Kudos to everyone involved, especially those on the ground who put in the house every single day.

I immediately thought of Rick's secret toilet

For those who are wondering what is "psalm 82:3" at the very end of the video, it's in short, a part of psalm 82 in the Bible which says: "Grant justice to the weak and the orphan; defend the rights of the lowly and the poor." Nice detail Destin!

"We're helping these orphans now, that's what we're doin" 😆 love how it all started

WOW!! Why on Earth do you only do this once a year? Never used patreon before. But I just did. This should be more than an annual education

Love seeing the great work. Thank you. As someone who went through the US Foster System from 8 to 18, passed from home to home almost every 6 months, it is so touching that other young men are being helped. Amazing work. Yall rock

"Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed." Muchas gracias por todo lo que haces, te admiro profundamente y ahora aún más. Saludos desde Colombia.

This is awesome! In 2006, I was helping at an orphanage in Arequipa, Peru. Out of all the mission trips I gone on, I liked Peru the most. I could see myself moving there. Everyone was so friendly. ... If I'm lucky, I can sometimes find Inca Cola when travelling in the US.

This brought tears to my eyes! I love that there's so much progress going on and they can count on another monthly donation from our household!

Remarkable. I‘m currently not in the position to help on Patreon, but know this: I fully stand behind you and I am with heart and mind with you. If I can help you out in any other way, please tell me. I‘m going to try to tell people in my community about this project. Greetings from Germany

Ahhhhh!!!! You’re so freaking awesome, Destin! I love, love, love your content because it is so pure and honest and wholesome! This really speaks to me. I did an Eagle Scout project collecting shoes for an orphanage in Reque, Peru and later, my cousin did a similar project for kids at a school in Santa Cruz, Bolivia and I got to go down with him to meet the kids and help with other projects there. I absolutely love how you guys came to the conclusion to integrate the family unit model into your orphanage! There is definitely a sacred power in defending the family. May God bless you and your efforts and may those blessings pour out abundantly to all those whose lives you touch!

I love seeing these yearly updates for Not Forgotten. Thank you for making this so public and for all the hard work the charity has done :)

You're an inspiration! Great job Destin, using your channel for thr greater good! 👏

That's awesome. I came from an orphanage in Philippines called Children Shelter of Cebu. You guys are doing an awesome job and may God continue to bless you for giving these kids a chance for a better life.

Thank you for caring about these precious children! This makes my heart happy! You're a good human.

Love these videos so much. Just got my SED Baseball in the mail a few weeks ago! Awesome seeing such amazing things happening on this channel. Thanks for sharing, Destin and SED crew/family!

Totally awesome!!! Thank you for sharing and working for these wonderful children!

love this! I’ve seen your yearly updates, but it’s really cool to know the history behind them now

This brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for making us aware of such beautiful initiatives across the world ♥️

So wholesome! Ty for sharing this update Destin!

You can see his military like work ethic behind all this enthusiasm and curiosity. What an amazing person, god bless him.

7:49 The kid with the "ASTROS" T-shirt, who makes a comic "serious" face, feels to me as if he were channeling Destin. I found it very funny in the moment to imagine that the kid knows Destin well enough to parody him. 😀

I've been watching Smarter Every Day for a while now, but this is the first time I've seen a video on Not Forgotten. This brought a tear to my eye Destin - my wife and I have had the privilege of raising our 3 bio kids, and also for the past 11 years our four foster kids, 3 brothers and a sister from the same family. It has been hard work, heartbreaking at times, but we have been so happy to see the results, and we feel so fortunate to have been able to be along for the journey. Our foster daughter was way behind with her language and maths when they first came to us. Two years ago, she graduated with a Bachelor of Education, and was dux of her graduating class. She is now teaching at a school in a low socio-economic area, and completing her Masters at the same time. Her youngest brother, in spite of being on the ASD spectrum, is now half way through his degree in environmental science and holds a really good gpa. He is passionate about the environment and we know will contribute to his area of expertise once he graduates. I honour your efforts to contribute to Not Forgotten, and I hope and pray that the ministry will continue to grow and be able to reach more kids who need a home in Peru. God bless brother!

What a beautiful soul you are Destin! Thanks for everything you do.

I've been watching your videos for years and this is the first time I've seen a Not Forgotten series video. You're doing an amazing work!

I went to Milton Hershey School which is a similar setup. I think it's absolutely life changing what you are doing for these kids. There is nothing more important than providing a safe space for kids to learn the values of discipline and comradery. You're the man!

Thanks to my Great Grand Uncle Mariano Gagnon, Peru has a very special place in my heart. So blessed I'm able to help support Not Forgotten and look forward to seeing the growth of the Orphanage!

This is great! I somehow missed your prior videos on the orphanage but I will be proud and happy to support it now.

*You are doing wonderful work Destin, Keep it up!* 👍

Wow. After seeing this, I just had to join and become a Patreon supporter of this amazing project. Such a great thing. I love your projects and podcasts, but this thing is way beyond! Thanks to you and your wife for doing this and making me aware of the needs of these beloved children.

Colombia needs a place like this ! Thank you for helping society

What a great person. Thanks Destin. God Bless.

Bless you all, whoever involved, for these kids, bless these kids hope they're growing fine.

This was awesome to watch, been wanting to see an update on what was happening, seeing all these kids smiling, laughing, just being kids is beautiful.

I love the work you do, Destin! ❤️

I can’t believe UKposts never recommended this video to me. It always shows me destin’s videos but why not this one? It’s in important matter!

God bless you buddy. I'm so glad I found your channel. God bless the people you're helping and the people donating. I always love to learn something new.

Thanks for all you do Destin. I admire your drive to spread knowledge and love wherever you go

huge respect to you and the others that helped these boys !! love from bangladesh♥️

I'm glad you reposted this here. Not Forgotten deserves the larger platform of the main channel.

This is awesome, Destin. Thank you for sharing. Heading over to Patreon now.

The toilet that started it all. Almost poetic.

Hi Destin, good for you and yours. Thank you.

Glad to have some positive stories with all that's going on in the world. Also glad you put this on the main channel!

This looks a lot like a place I used to live in/my parents worked at in Haiti called Children of the promise. Awesome to see this sort of thing in other countries as well, brings back a lot of memories! Keep up the amazing work!

Your style of speaking and explanations is owesome as well as an element of compassion I am a big fan of your videos

"Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed." Amen! You're literally doing God's work and spreading God's message, thank you Destin!

I’ve watched this channel quite a bit over a number of years and somehow had missed the Not Forgotten project. Thank you for posting and for the efforts of those involved. We’ll keep these things in mind in the days ahead.

this touched me... God bless everyone involved and all the supporters!

This is awesome! I love to see the amazing work that people are doing in other ministries around the world, I've been fortunate to be able to go and do some of these ministries myself once in Africa and it was amazing to see how different things are in other countries and how much of an impact we can have coming from the western world to help those in need in other places and how much good it can do for others. Love this video and the update on not forgotten

What wonderful people you are. Thank you for existing. Stay blessed

This is awesome, can't believe I just got to watching this! Thank you for all your work

This is very inspiring! What a great model, this needs to be repeated all over the world, there is great need. God bless you!

As the father of abandoned children from another part of the world, this resonates. Hats off to you in your work!

Supported👍 thanks Destin, you’re awesome…

Amazing testimony brother! So cool to see what God is doing through faithful servants like yourselves. Blessings!

Increíblemente inspirador, gracias Dustin, as usual. I feel I already know you in person and you are a great guy, proud of you and inspired by you. Blessings 🙏🏻

Thank you for all of your content destin, I've always been a fan and enjoy all of your videos

What an amazing organization!!

All your videos as so insightful and inspiring! I never knew of them but I became a patron for the cause.

Thank you for doing this for the kids here in Peru . Saludos desde Lima y ha seguir con el proyecto !

That's fantastic. I love Peru. Thank you for doing that.

Oops like a Rick Sanchez trap, I’d avoid that toilet guys.

Well done Dustin and all involved. Love your channel, this was definitely out of the ordinary but one of your best. I would happily give my physical time to these lovely people if i didnt live in Ireland and have a family to look after. That being said i will be signing up and helping funding their efforts. Great work.

Destin you are an example of knowledge and heart!

Wonderful! Thank you for setting a great example, Destin.

Peace and love. Thanks for sharing.

Love your videos Destin. You are a huge inspiration

You are such an amazing guy, I absolutely love this channel and everything you do. Thanks for being awesome.

Honestly that model is brilliant, this should be adopted more around the world. It really seems to create a healthy environment for grows. Everyone participating deserves a well place slap on the back and a "Well done, be proud of it. You've done something that matters."

my grandmother grew up in an orphanage, and the girls were raised in a home, with house moms...and every child had a career (for girls) at that time! Teacher, nun, and my grandmother was the first NURSE. The church made sure each orphan had a job. This is so wonderful!! It works, truly!

Thank you for sharing, Destin 🙏🙏🙏🤗🎈

Thumbnail believed me to think it was a miniature city. But this made me way more happy!

Finally you listened... It's about time you posted these on your main channel.

I don't religiously follow your channel but i appreciate so much the good work you do. thank you for making this video explaining the history of not forgotten. I love this

Voted! What a touching story and incredible effort, thank you for being an amazing Human!

Great video. Makes me "Home sick" because I used to live in Peru, at an orphanage. Hopefully, I can return there for my 16th visit... Covid permitting. You are in my prayers!!!

I am going to patreon this as soon as I can. This is great.

Great work for a good cause! But I must have missed where you explained the golden toilet?

I love your work, and hope to see more of it.

This is awesome Destin. Keep doing good work.

Destin I swear to god I work with a guy that could be your twin. We are in Ontario Canada. He has you same mannerisms and speaks similar to you as well. Blown away. Thank you sharing this story.

so cool... you are awsome for pushing such an amazing project

Could get we an update every few months for this? What an amazing project. Thank you Destin

I definitely think you should make a video more often about not forgotten I have been subscribed for years and I'm just not hearing about it. So happy to support

Thanks everyone...I got such joy for watching this episode thanks a bunch smarter everyday...we all love your style and charisma here in Australia...cheers mate.

aaaw that part of "Yes ma'am" got me so squishy inside! I have had to negotiate with my boyfriend for him to occasionally help me with the stray cats i take in when i need to take them to the vets.

I'm watching this and I have tears in my eyes. Those people and Destin breaking the cycle with their vision is amazing!

Destin- great work brother. Amazing to see.

You are very inspiring, I sent a donation on the Not Forgotten webpage, good luck!

I spent some time in Benin, Africa years ago - kind of on a research mission of my own but also being a part of the efforts down there in whatever capacity I could serve in ... spent time at an orphanage where they were building housing and bunk beds for the children... and I absolutely fell in love with the people ... so I know exactly what you're describing here as I watch this video in tears - knowing how totally satisfying it is to be a part of the solution for those kids ... who would be lost without those efforts. How amazing is it that you have the heart for this as well as the education to see it through. What a privilege ... to serve like this ... what higher calling could there be on this planet? Thank you for sharing.

It's great that you care about and help these people.

This brought a smile thank you.

So glad you decided to upload this to the main channel. You're gonna reach a lot more people with thus, and do a lot more good :)

Just signed up on Patreon. Thank you for being a part of this.
