Orlando Magic big man Bismack Biyombo was born and raised in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and he’s been doing everything that he can to help make his native country a better place to live since he joined the NBA in 2011.

On Thursday, the 24-year-old shared a video featuring the blue prints for the brand new Kivu International School set to open in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, in September and it looks incredible.

Co-founded and funded by Biyombo, the school will be the first of three new international schools being built over the coming years with a goal of providing world-class education to the students.

The school will feature a ton of incredible things such as a soccer field, a fully-equipped gym, a basketball court, a medical room, 21 classrooms, a library and computer lab, a dining pavilion, a playground for younger students, a 135-seat auditorium and a theatre, music and dance room.
