Every year Not Forgotten takes a team down to Puerto Alegria (a children’s home near Iquitos, Peru). The day after Christmas, we shove our jungle gear into packs, and save room for 40+ stockings filled with everything from yoyo’s to baseball caps. These simple stockings bring immense joy to the children of Puerto Alegria and provide endless hours of entertainment for both the children and our team. With each stocking that is passed out, we increase our risk of being attacked with water guns, nerf balls, or whatever other gadget we have armed them with.

Some of the boys play it cool as they rifle through their gifts, unintentionally cracking a smile or two. Others just giggle through each new stocking discovery. Our team watches on, amazingly blessed by the laughter that ensues.

You are welcome to be a part of that laughter by sponsoring a stocking for one of the boys at Puerto Alegria. Each stocking is $25 and donations are tax deductible. Please mail donations to Not Forgotten @ 1111 Fern Street, Homewood, AL 35209.

Be blessed this holiday season!
