Aid for Guatemala

International aid for Stan-stricken Guatemala has been pouring in. Sweden: Q45m, Spain: Q11m, Venezuela: Q8m, Canada: Q6.5m, Taiwan: Q5.2m, Italy: Q2m, Germany: Q1m.
(1$=Q7.7)

GB? Still thinking. USA? $50,000!

However, hit US show Survivor is being broadcast from the north of the country right now and the producers have promised to help out a bit.

Sadly, Guatemala will yet again miss out on the big soccer party. The finished the CONCACAF qualifying competition with a 3-1 win over the ticos at home, but the pinche Mexicanos went and lost to Trinidad, most probably willfully.

UPDATE: USAID has now promised $350,000. Much better.
