Ar feadh an bhliain seo caite, d'iarr Léna orm a tabhairt airgead eigin do charthanacht. Thúg muid chuid gach airgead. Roghnaigh muid chartanachtaí éagsulaí ar ár chuid féin.
Beidh mé líosta mó chuid féin. Ar dtús, chuimneagh mé faoi an Lakota Scoil Scamall Dearg ina hÁirinthe Iomaire Péine i nDakota Thuas. Léigh mé h-aiste ina hAmannaí Nua-Eabhrac leis mholadh acu le hagaidh a n-oibreachaí maith ag búnadh leis hÍosanachaí--chomh maith le Tionscail Bhuacaill Baile. Tá sé níos áitiúíl mo bhaile féin, i ndáiríre.
Nuair bhí mé óg, bhí maith liom ag dul ar an Leabharlann Huntington in aice leis mo bhaile. Bhí amanna go leor ag foghlaim agus ag léamh ansin, chomh buachaill fadó agus scólaire le déanaí. Is mian liom ag íoc ar ais siad.
Tá suim agam leis Tibéad ó mó óige. Mar sin, chuir mé airgead do Shábhail Tibéad. Ach, thúg siad suim go leor chun airgead a bháiliú; thabharfaidh mé go Tibet Fund an bliain seo.
Is cuimhne liom Proinsiasaigh i gCaipisíneach. Chuidaigh siad liom i gcoláiste. Tháinig go leor bráithre go dtí gCalifoirnea as Éireann ar ais ansin.
Ar deireanagh, thúg mé airgead do Vicipéid. Bím úsaid é an-coitanta ann. Sílím go féidir leat a bheith ag báint úsaid as chomh maith.
Worthy causes.
During the end of the year, Layne asked me to give some money to charity. We took a share of money each. We chose various charities on our own.
I will list my share. At the start, I recall the Lakota Red Cloud School at Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. I read an article in the New York Times with a recommendation for their good works started by the Jesuits, as is also Homeboy Industries; it is very local to my own house, in fact.
When I was young, I liked to go to the The Huntington Library near my home. There were many times learning and reading there, as a boy once and a scholar lately. I need to pay them back.
I have had an interest in Tibet since my youth. Therefore, I send money to The International Campaign for Tibet. But, they take a large amount for fundraising; I will give to Tibet Fund this year.
I remember the Capuchin Franciscans. They helped me when I was in college. Many friars came to California from Ireland back then.
Finally, I gave money to Wikipedia. I am using them very commonly. I think you may be doing so as well.
