Guatemala Disaster Relief Boxes Donate Today
Guatemala (ContentDesk) October 12, 2005 -- Hurricane Stan has brought almost 11 days of relentless rain, but like Hurricane Mitch (Oct 30 to Nov 1 1998), the rain has taken a heavy toll causing huge mudslides. Government officials say this is worse than Hurricane Mitch by far. In one area near Panajachel more than 1,400 are dead and buried under up to 40 feet of mud more than one-half mile long. Tens of thousands of the poorest of the poor are now homeless and living outside.
More than 37 bridges are washed out, and countless portions of roads have been destroyed making access to many areas impossible.Entire villages have been wiped out, literally buried in mud.
Bridges are destroyed; roads are barricaded by tons of mud, and communications knocked out. Estimates are that it will be a few months until roads will be fully cleared. Guatemala, having just recovered from a similar incident, Hurricane Mitch in 1998, is now left with yet another devastating disaster. Yet unlike...

Looking for College Grants?
Grants are a type of student aid that is awarded by the
government. Grants for college students do not have to be repaid.Grants are based upon financial need, as calculated by the federal aid program. The first step in applying for government grants is by completing the FAFSA.Of course every student and parent would rather receive grants instead of loans, since they do not have to be repaid. So the student hopes to see a grant award when the results are returned from the application.There are a few things to be aware of, however, when expecting a grant. The funds available for grants are limited, therefore the grant will not usually fully fund educational expenses.
If the student is planning on attending a community college where tuition rates are lower, it is possible that grants will cover a greater percentage of the tuition and fees.The second thing to be aware of is that when the need analysis is done by the government or school, the expected contribution of the parent...
