Inspire and Empower'

Russell Westbrook's newest venture? Schoolboard member!
龜龜的最新投資？當校董！
The Washington Wizards player, 32, has teamed up with L.A. Promise Fund to
launch the Russell Westbrook Why Not? Academy, consisting of a middle school
and a high school in Los Angeles.
這位32歲的巫師球員與洛杉磯的Promise基金會合作，要啟動龜龜的"Why Not?"學院計畫，
其中要在洛杉磯建立一間初中以及高中。
The purpose of the schools is "to create better access to educational and
outdoor opportunities for children and the community at large in South L.A."
這些學校的宗旨是要"讓南洛杉磯的小孩以及社區人們有更好的機會可以得到教育以及戶外
活動的機會"。
In a statement to PEOPLE, Westbrook says he's "excited" about the initiative,
explaining, "I've realized through the work with my [Why Not? Foundation] how
often schools in underserved communities lack the resources and funding
needed to support their students."
People拿到的聲明中，龜龜說他對於這樣的計畫很興奮，他說：「在與我的基金會的合作
過程中我了解到很多學校在貧窮社區有多缺乏資源，有多缺資金來資助他們的學生。」
"I not only want to inspire and empower these students but I want to help
provide the essential and necessary resources to set them up for success
beyond the classroom," he adds.
「我不只希望可以啟發以及讓這些學生們更有能力，我更希望可以提供他們必要的資源，
好讓他們在離開學校後可以準備好，邁向成功之路。」
