High School Student Volunteers Wanted!

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.

I will be traveling from Japan to Chicago in November on a business trip. I know that I can get a cheap test if I have insurance in the U.S., but
I would appreciate it if you could tell me where I can get a cheap travel PCR test if I do not have American insurance.

Since Corona, I feel that the overall security is getting worse.
I see a lot of disturbing news.

Do you feel that there is more crime in Chicago ？?

How is life in Chicago, everyone ？?

I am currently living in Los Angeles.
I may be moving to Chicago for certain reasons.
I have been blessed with the warm weather of Southern California ever since I came to the U.S. and I am worried that I will not be able to withstand the harsh winters in Chicago.
For those of you who live in Chicago （ or nearby ） how is life in the winter ？ not just the seasons, but life in the Chicago area in general （ do you have any advice, good or bad, ） for someone thinking of moving to Chicago? ？
Thank you.
Tra.

Compared to Los Angeles, Chicago has a lot of greenery and forests where you can enjoy hiking and picnicking.
Also, Chicago is said to be dangerous, but away from downtown, you don't have to worry so much about security and it is very safe. You can take a walk alone in a residential area, and there are many ponds and nature, so you can spend your time relaxing.
Also, it is less crowded with people and cars than Los Angeles, so I think you can spend your time leisurely.

It is very cold and hard in winter, but it is nothing to worry about if you have an auto start system in your car.
In the morning the car windows are frozen and it takes about 10 minutes to leave.

Instead, winters are cold and there may not be much to do compared to Los Angeles.
Summer is short, so from June to October, many events are held in various places.

There are not so many Japanese people in Chicago compared to Los Angeles, so you can meet many people and have a different experience.

Chicago is not humid and has four distinct seasons
Nature and hiking in the spring, pools, beaches and hiking in the summer, its trees change colors in the fall and all white in the winter.
I like that I can enjoy the four seasons like in Japan.

By the way, Chicago has its own kind of bivinavi, and we don't use bivinavi much.
If you are really moving, please do a search.

I saw a video of Olympic athletes entering Japan. The Japanese side has some concerns, but the foreign athletes must be very brave to go to Japan where there are so many infected people. No wonder some athletes are abstaining.

I see in the news that a clerk who warns someone not to wear a mask is assaulted, and I feel sorry for the clerk. I wish people would not take the stress of Corona out on the clerks. It may be that the situation is complicated by the fact that people who have received the vaccine do not have to wear masks.

It is scary to watch the news and see the crime rate going up in all areas.
I guess it is partly due to the release of prisoners during Corona.
