扎克伯格妻子心系难民，为穷困儿童建免费学校 - 扎克伯格,facebook - IT资讯
4月4日晚间消息，Facebook CEO马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)的妻子普莉希拉·陈(Priscilla Chan)日前在接受采访时称，如果孩子们不能健康、安全和快乐地生活着，学业辅导就变得毫无意义，这就是她创建集教育和医疗于一身的免费私人学校The Primary School的原因。
除了是旧金山综合医院(San Francisco General Hospital)的儿科医生，普莉希拉还在加州东帕罗奥图市(East Palo Alto)创建了一所名为“The Primary School”的学校。这是一所非营利私人学校，主要面向贫困儿童。The Primary School已于去年8月投入使用，为3岁以上儿童提供免费的教育服务。
The Primary School集教育和医疗于一身，除了教学，这所学校还向学生和家长提供免费的身体和心理健康服务。普莉希拉称，贫穷、家庭不稳定和疏忽大意可能对儿童的大脑发育造成不良影响。
近日，普莉希拉接受了《圣何塞水星报》(San Jose Mercury News)的采访，对当初为何要创建The Primary School进行了回忆。
普莉希拉称，作为一个“课后辅导项目”的一部分，她曾辅导过一些贫困邻居的孩子们。这些孩子经常受到“帮派暴力”的袭击，例如一个女孩的门牙被打掉，还有一个孩子曾被打得满脸是血，这让普莉希拉感到心痛。
再次提起这些事情，普莉希拉禁不住流下泪水。她说：“如果这些孩子不能健康、安全和快乐地生活着，我的课后辅导就变得毫无意义。这些对我在生活和工作中的许多决定有着极大的影响。”
普莉希拉的儿时也充满了各种挑战，也正是这些经历让她一开始选择了辅导工作。
普莉希拉在波士顿郊外的一个爱尔兰天主教小镇长大，她的父母是乘坐难民船从越南逃亡美国的。在普莉希拉的整个童年时期，她的母亲一直坚持做两份工作来养家糊口。
到了哈佛大学之后，普莉希拉感到十分不适应。但她明白，她要回馈在高中曾帮助过她的老师们，不能让他们失望。普莉希拉在接受采访时称：“对于我们身边的许多人，他们并没有这样的机会。”
如今，普莉希拉已经成为了全球最杰出商业领袖之一的扎克伯格的妻子。从某些方面讲，她又一次成为了“局外人”(第一次是不适应哈佛大学)。但是，凭借她和扎克伯格所决定捐出的巨额财产，普莉希拉可以做更多事情来回报社会。
去年12月，扎克伯格和普莉希拉宣布产下一女，并取名为麦克斯(Max)。除了宣布女儿出生的消息外，这对夫妇还承诺将在有生之年将其所持有的99%的Facebook股份(价值约450亿美元)捐出，用以发展人类潜能和促进平等。为此，二人还成立了一家慈善机构“Chan Zuckerberg Initiative”。该机构主要对四个领域进行投资，其中就包括个性化学习和疾病治疗。
事实上，在成为母亲之前，普莉希拉就一直在致力于创建一个综合性的医疗和教育系统。在哈佛大学本科毕业后，普莉希拉当了两年的教师。为了自己的医生梦，她后来又考取了加州大学旧金山分校的医学专业。当她仍是这所学校的学生时，普莉希拉就开始筹划创建The Primary School。
在这一过程中，扎克伯格成为了普莉希拉的“啦啦队队长”。他经常在网站上公布普莉希拉所取得的专业成就，并给予赞许。对于这次接受《圣何塞水星报》的采访，扎克伯格也在自己的Facebook页面上分享了采访链接。
