History

forgottensong began in a Bolivian prison. San Pedro is one of the most infamous prisons in South America as it is a cocaine factory in disguise. Inside the walls, prisoners manufacture large amounts of cocaine and the prison guards deal it. What is most shocking, however, is that the children of the prisoners are forced to mule the cocaine out of the prison and are used as a delivery service for the system. After hearing of this, Charles followed a team heading to visit San Pedro. Soon after arriving, he realized that these children, by no choice of their own, are paying for the crimes of their parents.

After returning to the United States, the thought started to haunt Charles that the injustice of children suffering because of the crimes of their parents exists all over the world. After researching more in depth, he found that the highest crime exists in the world's war torn countries where so many children are paying for the choices of their parents to hate and fight one another, and are therefore many times left parentless and homeless. What's worse, is that very few people are ever willing to take any further action beyond shaking their head at the realities of these children and pretending like nothing can be done.

This was found unacceptable.

forgottensong was born.

Soon after, Charles journeyed to Iraq and Afghanistan to get a closer look into the realities of war and the choices that have to be made on a daily basis by children in a war torn society. He along with the forgottensong team now travel the world in search of the best methods and practices for starting projects to benefit and reclaim the orphaned at at-risk child population in the world's war torn countries.
