View this post on Instagram Tai Temple ’91 is a Pun on the front line of #COVID19. She shares: “I am a hospitalist at a community hospital about two hours west of Boston. I am the Associate Chief and Hospitalist Director. I treated the first confirmed case in the Worcester area. It seemed a bit weird that the first case wasn’t in a big academic center, but I think this is an important reality – this virus is spreading to every community. We are preparing the best we can, conserving and reusing masks/ gloves. As a doctor, I am ready to put myself in harm's way, but as a mother, I am terrified that I could bring COVID-19 home or leave my children orphans. Even though I am far from Hawai‘i, the lessons I learned there about finding courage and living with aloha helps. I am so glad to have the opportunity to reconnect with our Punahou ‘ohana. Let’s go #BuffnBlue. (I laugh that I am still wearing those colors!)” #PunsUnited A post shared by Punahou School (@punahouschool) on Apr 3, 2020 at 12:56pm PDT View this post on Instagram Through the efforts of Punahou Director of Food Services Marcia Wright and Carnival Coordinator Taryn Yano '99 Kabei, 5,550 take out containers were donated to @HawaiiPublicSchools and over 80 masks were donated to @KapiolaniMedCtr. #punsunited A post shared by Punahou School (@punahouschool) on Mar 30, 2020 at 1:18pm PDT View this post on Instagram Chef Mark Noguchi ’93 (left), Punahou’s food curriculum specialist, is helping deliver food to people in need.
