I came across two high school-aged kids that are part of the USA Jr. National Karate team. Their goal is to make the Olympic karate team in 2020. They have to travel to different countries every month or so to compete and acquire a certain amount of points to make the team.
Unfortunately, the US doesn’t fund their athletes. So, Adam and Logan garbage pick for scrap wood, then make and sell hand crafted decorations. 100% of their proceeds go to raising money for their travels.
I’ve contacted Adam’s mother, and she was really excited about this. I plan to film them making the crafts and also training…competing if possible. I would also like to do photography, although I’m not entirely sure what I would do for that, so input would be helpful.
