Zuckerberg also discussed his philanthropic work in another post last week where he stated that his goals in his donations were to unlock human potential and promote equality. He ended the post explaining why the couple are so adamant about pushing for education:

“Soon we’re going to be parents, and we care deeply about doing everything we can so all children — not just ours — can grow up and achieve their full potential. We have a lot of work to do, so I’m glad we’re starting now.”
