Hey folks thanks for watching this video! I'm going to be live on the Project For Awesome Livestream tonight at 9pm-11pm Central time. If you'd like to join us we're going to be sending dinosaurs to the moon and populating the "Awesome People Board". Our goal is $30,000 in 2 hours. We've built things. I think we can do this. Also, please vote for this video on the Project for awesome website? The link is here: www.projectforawesome.com/watch?v=maQViAEgOKA

[@MiscMitz]

Awesome. Are you going to tweet a link took the live stream? This is such an amazing project. I was a foster child so this really touches my heart.

[@blue33fp]

You got my vote. As someone who works a lot with kids, and has friends who are missionaries in Peru, I love seeing this. On a side note... Destin, I'd love to hear your testimony sometime.

[@PainRUify]

Whats the reason for posting this video to this channel instead of the main channel?

[@SuperRatzefummel]

Hey Destin, is this a Christian project?

[@hobesoundman8246]

I know this is completely unrelated to your video but I was up late thinking about some physics vids I watched and now I want to know what happens to light after it gets absorbed? Like if you throw a marble at a wet sponge the sponge absorbs its impact but the marble still sits their. Does the light really get absorbed or does the energy carrying it get absorbed? I know it's a wavelength but isn't it a physical particle as well? It has to have weight to it because blackholes suck it in with gravity so if its got weight to it does It make it an actual object? So what I'm saying is does the light just sit their after being absorbed by the object like the marble on the wet sponge or does the light itself get absorbed without a trace? I hope this doesn't sound stupid or anything but really think about it

[@bobiboulon]

Not only this guy is good... but he really makes it contagious, giving opportunity to those kids to become even better adults.

[@andrewschwanke4743]

"I brought it alcohol and it continued hopping". Me too little buddy, me too

[@Avatarace01]

Thank you for the update, I donated 500$ to you guys back in the day, for the first project for awesome and I’m glad to see it might have helped.

[@csernobillahun]

I supported this project years ago, when it was still just a few buildings under construction, one of my better investments.

[@SmarterEveryDay2]

Thank you so much!

[@wiet111]

I was waiting for this video! I'm very excited! I love this project very much

[@SmarterEveryDay2]

Thank you so much

[@AdamTheAlien]

The P4A wouldn't be the same without your continued presence. Thanks for never forgetting to be awesome. DFTBA!

[@Ste.fano24]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for what you do for the children of my country🇵🇪❤️. I appreciate it a lot

[@chasekieselbach7496]

I love your updates for Not Forgotten. The boys down there look so awesome!

[@tobiaszwojnar1465]

Destin. Thank you for being awesome. I've started to watch your videos in high school and It had such a big impact on my life. I know that I sound like a fungirl. But still thanks for being such a smart and responsible creator, for not being ashamed of your faith, for showing that space and engineering rocks, and for being a proof that men can get matured, raise kids, love his wife and be childishly amazed with the world.

[@JulieHerrick]

It has been fun to watch this project grow over the years.

[@royreynolds108]

Basically what this group is doing is raising younguns to grow up to work, live, and have families of their own just like good parents are supposed to do.

[@amandamathews4516]

Every video you make inspires me more. They make me work harder towards my goals to be an even better parent and member of society. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@marylagua5079]

Helping those orphans is a great work.

[@MattPalka]

Showing how they have changed over time in the place outside the city, they sort of unlearn living in a state of distrust and fear. I've thought this weak about becoming good but also figuring out how to unbecome what is unhelpful. The environment and nurture is really so powerful in how it leads to us to adding value to the world around us. It takes a village to raise a child. Thanks for taking us to the meet some kids and sharing an update this year. I always look forward to it. And thanks for the livestream shenanigans!

[@Prohortico]

Wow, what an amazing organization! Thanks for introducing me through this video Destin, I had the opportunity to travel through Lima, down to Arequipa, and into Ayaviri Peru in the Alte Plano for a week. We finished up our mission trip in Cusco. I’ve also been fortunate to sponsor a child in Ecuador since 2006... My sponsor child will be turning 18 years old in the spring, and the sponsor program ends at that point - I will be looking into this organization further as my current commitment is completed.

[@Blazestation]

Just beautiful! Well done to all who is involved in this incredible work.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Wonderful operation! RAD! Reactivate Attachment Disorder is being treated here!

[@mare4602]

thank you for what you are doing

[@ruthmeyer5415]

Beautiful work with awesome kids, thank you Not Forgotten! And thank you for the update, Destin! Perfect Bible verses also, showing God's heart of compassion for every child everywhere.

[@oforth]

took a moment while you set up the course to Planet Gumball to check this one and say thanks for being awesome

[@805ROADKING]

We voted for ya Bud!! Keep up the good work!!☺

[@KatrinaEames]

Love this cause!

[@untappedinkwell]

Happy P4A! Thank you for this update and video! DFTBA!

[@THEmadmikeismad]

I almost missed this one because youtube doesn't always notify. Video's this important would benefit greatly from a shout out on your main channel.

[@TheTravelVal]

Thanks for making a P4A video!!

[@elazarpimentel5340]

In KZbin there should be an option where once a month you can like a video twice.

[@FreedomandBaconHomestead]

Very cool!!!

[@gregorysquires2685]

Absolutely love what y’all are doing for these children!!! So what’s up with the “alcohol” reviving a frog????!!!! Destin, if you think it would make an interesting video, would you please explain a Tesla Valve? I think he got a patten for it in the early 1920’s

[@clamum]

Really impressive thing he's got going there. I donated. It's probably not your problem directly, Not Forgotten, but the donation form on your website doesn't work with Firefox mobile (I had to use Chrome, Firefox didn't show the PayPal button) and some text on the form looked a bit weird too. No biggie just thought I'd mention it. Thanks guys!

[@maybeja]

Who on earth has the heart to dislike this video????

[@ryanrinn4041]

I am here from your KZbin story!

[@coolmonkey619]

so he saw a dying frog and then gave the frog ALCOHOL is this correct

[@johiahdoesstuff1614]

Gonna be an amazing vet, just gotta continue with this technique.

[@The009975]

tom111 were all looking at this like “bro... really? 😅” but he says it so innocently, and this may sound bad, but he reminds me of my son who’s 3 at the moment and all the cute innocent things he says like “daddy I got a hurting on my arm” Plus, I’m sure alcohol would make us all start hopping if we had enough! I like Tito, cute and innocent

[@jonbar140]

This has a Christiany vibe to it. I dig it. Helping people is one thing, and it's great, it's always good. But breaking a cycle multiplies the good; it produces more. Thats something most charities miss. Goodness that abides and reproduces is a beautiful thing. It's our efforts multiplying beyond what an individual is capable of.

[@someoldguy22]

Does patreon take a portion of donations for management? Should we donate directly?

[@royreynolds108]

I understand Patreon does take a portion but do not know how much.

[@aidanjohnson746]

but patreon is good because support for a long time is sometimes better than a lump sum

Hey smarter everyday got a question are mushrooms an alien life form

[@stilcrazychris]

This is the 1st time I'm seeing anything on this channel about Not Forgotten. I must of missed something in the past or was not subscribed when you 1st mentioned anything about this. I have a lot of questions & I hope I find the answer that I'm looking for from you. Let's start w/the question everyone always ask. Why there & not your own country, USA? Thank you for your time, Chris from Missouri

[@lijohnyoutube101]

stilcrazychris You can do both... help domestically and internationally!

[@danielbrowniel]

Looks like a good charity to me.

[@Marr_SC]

What kind of monster downvotes this video?

[@Mister_Merb]

Destin! The Not Forgotten “contact us” page is not working. I’m not sure how else to let them know so I hope you see this.

[@thefish5585]

Go to the orphanage

[@theodorschmidt2415]

Why don’t you make an advert to put on TV after some popular show?

[@meaigs]

I'm sure this question has been answered before, but why does the project only work with boys?

[@dle511]

1. the orphanages in operation there only accept girls as they are biologically family-oriented 2. boys growing up without guidance or under abuse will go on to perpetuate the cycle of violence and/or neglect as men

[@evildude109]

As I recall he answered this on the video a few years ago: boys are much more likely than girls to be orphaned in this city, not from a traumatic event but from just being abandoned. So that is the particular need being fulfilled. I can't find his comment though, so I don't know.

[@heatherscompletelackofchil6127]

I seem to remember that boys get orphaned a lot more often than girls because the girls eat less so are cheaper to feed and people think they will help around the house more

[@wi11y1960]

It sucks to be wishing to be generous and be too poor to be able to do so.

[@DarkenedSilhouette]

wi11y1960 being generous doesn’t exactly require money tho

[@HKOlaura]

Your heart is generous. People who give generously start with a generous heart. With distant charity, money is the most helpful, direct way to be generous, but locally, generosity can be demonstrated by giving time and service to people who are your neighbors. This endeavor is amazing, but there are children who could benefit from your generous heart wherever you live. Schools, temples/churches/mosques and food banks are a great place to start...I personally recommend the latter two in the US because schools often have such rigorous screening measures that it can be a bit intimidating and involved and the time commitment could be greater than you’re able to give. There are good reasons for those measures, but it’s unfortunate because it can prevent people who don’t have a lot of time or resources from engaging where they can. Look online for institutions who make it clear they are affirm value and dignity for all people, and no matter their religious or political affiliation, you will be doing good by offering your time.

[@HKOlaura]

Also, money matters, but time is more precious, since we cannot add or gain time. For some people, money is available, and I would never disparage people who donate money. But to give of your time is to give from yourself, and that is equally valuable and precious for every person, since there’s not a way to make up or regain it.

[@zelrex4657]

Come on post in on the main Chanel

Ciaoooooo

[@eschybach]

Is religion a part of this organizations mission statement?

[@reliantk102]

James 1:27

[@outside8312]

What about the girls?

[@NotTheCIA1961]

Don't quote me on this, but if I recall correctly there were already homes in place for girls. However, the boys were being neglected and had nowhere to go

[@Ubajoo_]

Iquitos Peru has this issue where boys are disproportionately kicked out of their homes. If a family has a boy and a girl, and cannot support both, it is always the boy that is kicked out and subsequently forgotten. There are orphanages for girls but there was nothing for the small boys kicked out to fend for themselves on the streets. This is a project for these boys to show them they are not forgotten and teach them to break the cycle of abandonment when they grow up.

[@Silent.Program]

The project is interesting. The video seems kind of lengthy and the conversation seems in parts heavily scripted. Of course, this is not the regular type of video, so it is just natural that it is a little different. Just wanted to let you know... Have a good one!

[@cmeflywva]

Please go back and watch all of the videos so you can possibly understand why they are taking their time to give us an update.

[@bradrnstyle]

Are they preaching/teaching the gospel of Jesus? This is awesome.
