At the Meda Foundation, we stand in awe of the profound connection between the Choctaw tribe and the Irish people, spanning nearly two centuries. Their story exemplifies the essence of empathy, gratitude, and friendship, transcending barriers of distance, culture, and time. The act of generosity from the Choctaw during the potato famine, reciprocated by the Irish during the recent pandemic, serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us of the power of compassion and solidarity in building a better world.
