Facebook CEO, wife donate $120 mn to California schools

The Hindu  

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are donating $120 million to the San Francisco Bay Area’s public school system. “And we’re able to do some of this work together, which is neat.There are interesting overlaps.” Ms. Chan, 29, and Mr. Zuckerberg, 30, have made philanthropy a central theme of their life together. “It’s really important to me that we use this opportunity to continue to give back and create even more change to affect other people’s lives.” Last year, Mr. Zuckerberg was No. Though it’s been long in the works, the latest gift comes at a time when critics are still questioning what became of Mr. Zuckerberg’s $100 million donation to Newark, New Jersey’s public school system. The story’s most poignant quote is from Vivian Cox Fraser, president of the Urban League of Essex County, who says “Everybody’s getting paid, but Raheem still can’t read.” Mr. Zuckerberg said the Newark experience is “a big influence on our thinking” with the Bay Area donation.
