Ke kū nei kahi philanthropist Irish-ʻAmelika e mālama i ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa ʻo ʻIraka.
Ua hāʻawi ʻo Chuck Feeney e kākoʻo i kahi hoʻolālā e hāʻawi ana i nā palapala hōʻaiʻē $100 i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika e kipa ana iā Ireland, ua hōʻike ʻia ka London Times i kēia lā.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kuhina mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Martin Cullen, ua pili ʻo Feeney i ka makahiki 78 ma hope o ka hālāwai kūkā ʻo Farmleigh, kahi i hui pū ai nā kukui ʻoihana mai Ireland a me ka diaspora i nā poʻe kālai'āina e kūkākūkā i ka ʻoihana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Feeney ua makemake ʻo ia e kōkua pololei i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o Ireland, haʻi ʻo Kuhina Cullen i ka Times.
Ua ulu ʻo Feeney ma Elizabeth, New Jersey, ke keiki a kahi mea kākau ʻinikua a me kahi kahu hānai. I kona wā ʻōpiopio, hele ʻo ia i Iapana a me Korea ma ke ʻano he GI a ma hope mai ua aʻo ʻo ia ma ke Kulanui ʻo Cornell ma Ithaca. Ua hana ʻo ia i kāna kālā ma o nā huahana duty free a hāʻawi pinepine i nā kālā i nā papahana philanthropic ma US, Ireland a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
I ka makahiki 1982, ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i ka Atlantic Philanthropies, kahi kumu e hāʻawi kālā ai i nā hana ma Northern Ireland a me ka Repubalika o ʻIlelani, a me South Africa, United States, Bermuda a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe.
ʻO Feeney, nona ke kamaʻāina ʻo Irish a me ʻAmelika, ke ola nei ʻo ia i kahi ʻano ola ʻole, e like me kahi ʻatikala ma ka pūnaewele Atlantic Philanthropies. Hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā aniani heluhelu he $9 a me kahi wati $15.
Hāʻawi wale ka piliona kālā i nā kumu o kāna koho - ʻaʻole ʻae kāna kumu i nā noi i noi ʻole ʻia no ke kālā. I ka wā ma mua, ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā haʻawina i ke kaʻina maluhia ʻo Northern Irish a ua uku ʻo ia no ke keʻena ʻo Sinn Fein i Wakinekona no ʻekolu makahiki. Ua hāʻawi pū ʻo ia i nā piliona i ka hoʻonaʻauao kiʻekiʻe ʻo Irish.
Ua hāʻule ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o Irelani i ka 12 pakeneka i ka makahiki 2009, a ke manaʻo nei ʻo Feeney e kōkua nā palapala hōʻaiʻē, e hele ana i nā huakaʻi hoʻemi a me ka noho ʻana, e kōkua i ka piʻi ʻana o ka poʻe malihini kipa ma kahi o 50,000 i ka makahiki aʻe.
