I went to pick up the meal packet with my daughter. On Fridays, the school now delivers the weekend meal packet containing of breakfast and lunch for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Today the bus driver informed me that the school decided to keep delivering the meal packet until the end of June.
Pandemic EBT(P-EBT), as introduced in H.R. 6201, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act(link is external), provides assistance to households with children who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals, while schools are out of session due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For three months, she will receive $315. I appreciate our local community and government for their kind support.

Nowadays I often think of my old friend. We were close friends in our university days. She used to live in an apartment with her other three sisters. I often visited her room and had a sleep-over at her place. Her hometown was northern part of Hyogo Prefecture. I often visited her hometown with her. There, her parents and her maternal grandma heartwarmingly welcomed me. I felt as if I were one of their own family member. Her name is Rie Nakai. She married to a monk in Himeji. I visited their temple once, and stayed one night in their house. It was the last time that I talked to her. Since then, I lost contact with her. I had searched her in Facebook, but could not find her because I don’t remember her new family name. I really wish I will be reconnected with her soon.
