Super Kokosei, a volunteer group of high school students, is looking for new volunteers.
One more step is a high school based program to help children who are trying their best to make a new life in America.
We have two programs: a read aloud program to help the children get used to speaking English, and a homework help program to help them do their homework in Japanese.
The children who become our students range in age from middle school elementary school students to junior high school students, and their English levels vary. High school students who are fluent in Japanese can volunteer in the Homework Help Program, while high school students who are fluent in English can volunteer in the Read Aloud Program, whichever suits their style.
By continuing with weekly 30-minute sessions once a week for each week, service hours can also be easily accomplished to reach your goals.
You can also develop leadership skills while volunteering.
If you are interested, please register as a volunteer on our website. We will arrange an information session for you.

Hello.
I am from Nashville and am looking for a clinic that will do PCR testing when I return to Japan.
I found this clinic in downtown, but I was wondering if you know if they can accommodate the Japanese prescribed testing method and negative certificate form ？

I have heard of some companies that have sponsored permanent residents when they are in dire straits and have difficulty applying for other visas.
I am not sure about the legal fees. Sorry.

Do you know if the Parthenon can be seen in Nashville ？
It is a replica, but I would still be happy to see it.

Belmont ・ The apartment was very luxurious. I was impressed that wealthy people live in such a place.

Recent Japanese music is cool, but too difficult to sing.

It seems that there are many conditions for inspection certificates, so it is complicated.
After much preparation, it would be a nightmare if you are denied boarding because your certificate is invalid …

カリフォルニア州シリコンバレーにて、スウェーデン人の妻と19ヶ月になる娘との毎日をアップしてます。
アメリカでの子育てに関してや、うちのように子供をトライリンガルにしようとしてる家庭であるとか、留学・海外生活全般に置いて何か発信することができればなぁと、またそんなトピックでほかの方々からの質問に回答する場となればなどと漠然と考えて始めてみました。

「亡くなった後の greencard の手続き」とはどういう事でしょうか。１度永住権を所得されたら、放棄するまで何も手続きは必要がないと思いますが。あなたの置かれている状況が複雑なようであれば、移民専用の弁護士さんに問い合わせてみてはいかがでしょうか。

My mother has dementia. It’s quite severe, and she can’t remember anything for even a minute.
I’m posting this in the hope that anyone with experience living with a mother who has dementia might be able to offer advice or insights. Thank you in advance.

After my friend retired, his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
In the early stages, there weren’t many problems, but as the disease progressed, she began wandering around the neighborhood and was taken in by the police several times, so we installed an interior lock on the door to prevent her from going out alone.

Eventually, she lost control of her bladder and bowels, so he had to put her in diapers and, when she soiled herself, carry her to the bathtub to wash her. It looked so difficult that I suggested he place her in a care facility, but but no matter how advanced his dementia was, there were times when he would return to his normal self. He feared we had abandoned him during those moments, and if we placed him in a facility, he would likely pass away within a few months to a year. So he refused to listen, insisting he wanted to care for him himself and see him off.
After that, he had a nursing bed installed at home through his insurance provider, Kaiser, and would go over to help whenever he needed assistance.

I’d sent four children to college, so I had no financial leeway and was constantly working.
Since I’d left everything related to the children and the household to my wife, and hadn’t really repaid her for all she’d done, I told her I’d do everything I could to care for her. A few years later, my wife passed away.
Watching her, it seemed less like she was truly alive and more like she was simply being kept alive; when she passed away, he said he had no regrets because he’d done everything he could, but I felt that I could never do the same.

Sunshine,

That friend of yours is a wonderful person. I wonder if I could do something like that...

In our household, it’s the other way around—I’m starting to lose my mind, and sometimes I end up being a burden to my wife.

I “forget” things every now and then, and my wife—who’s a feisty one—gives me a real earful, but

since there’s nothing I can do about it, she puts up with it. She’s a great wife.

友人の奥様が認知症になった時はまだ良い薬がありませんでしたが、今は薬もあるので病院で検査すれば、良い薬を処方して貰えるので進行を大分遅らせる事が出来るはずです。

日本だと高額医療補助があるので金銭的に助かりますが、アメリカの保険がどの程度カバーしてもらえるのか分かりません。
製薬会社の中には、利益をほとんど開発費に投じて作った薬もあるので、高額な物もあります。

友人の息子さん二人が医者で、家族の支えで金銭的には余裕がありました。
アメリカの自己破産の一番の原因は医療費なので、どうにもならない時は自分は日本国籍なので帰国する事も考えています。
