　　Basketball professional Tina Charles grew up understanding the importance of education and of giving back to others.When the WNBA star and the 2017 US Olympic Women's Basketball team athlete heard about the chance to fund a school in an African village，she made sure to take part.

　　Charles first came across the opportunity while she was a sophomore in college.At that time，she didn't have the funds to help out，but all of that changed when she was drafted(选派) to the WNBA.With the help of two charitable organizations—OmniPeace and buildOn—Charles funded the entire

　　32,000 cost of the school.

　　The school，completed earlier this spring，was built in the small village of Ganale in western Africa.Before Charles' contribution，children living in the village were schooled in tiny mud huts.The lack of proper lighting and of proper airflow made it difficult for the students to learn.

　　The new school building is nearly 3,000 square feet and contains three large classrooms.It can fit up to 150 students at a time and is also used for adult literacy(读写能力) classes in the evenings.The school will be a source of learning for generations to come.

　　Charles undertook this charitable act while playing professional basketball and preparing for the London Olympics.The Olympic Games begin today，July 27，and Charles will play for a team that has won the gold medal in the last four Olympic Games.
