This guy is one of the best people on KZread, 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!

@@imzanky6321 Yeah, there's an entire system on YT specifically to deal with that... it's called a subscription. You click the subscribe button then head to the subscription feed and it shows you all the videos from people who you subscribe to. It continually boggles my mind that people use the wrong tool for the job and then whine they aren't getting good results. Like, "why isn't this spatula a good knife? Clearly this should be a good knife. I'm definitely not the problem here."

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.

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

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!

"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.

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

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 :)

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

So wholesome! Ty for sharing this update Destin!

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 love the work you do, Destin! ❤️

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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!

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Supported👍 thanks Destin, you’re awesome…

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!

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

This brought a smile thank you.

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

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

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 🙏🏻

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 :)

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.

Great to see these kids are thriving, great work Destin never stop doing the things you do.

Destin, it's just amazing how you can interact with people and do something good for them not even because you make those videos its because you get your hand dirty yourself. And that's really respectable. I enjoy every video of yours because you also inform people about problems in the world. They can do something too because you informed them. (Sorry if my grammar is not too good I'm no native English speaker)

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

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

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

Little late but the positivity is so nice in these times, thank you

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.

Dude I had absolutely no idea about any of this! What a beautiful and wonderful couple you are! ❤️

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