Thousands of students are missing school to save their town of Fargo, North Dakota from the rising Red River. In many other places throughout the nation filling and placing sandbags to protect homes would be done by emergency volunteers or parents.

However, in Fargo the students can get the day off of school to help with the sandbags with their parents permission. The students view the task of filling one million sandbags as a race against the river and a fun opportunity to be with their friends and help others.

One of the 62-year-old volunteers, David Stark, expressed appreciation for the young who had volunteered. He said, "They pretty much have saved our community."

Michael Russell, who is 14 years old, said he knew he was helping his friends and neighbors save their homes. He thought the sandbags would probably even save his own home.

The operation of filling these sandbags is taking place in a utility building that normally shelters 25 garbage trucks.  Under the new operation and with the new man-power of the students the building can produce 100,000 sandbags per 12 hours.

This is equivalent to 1,000 sandbags per fifty volunteers per hour. The students have been signing up for three or four hour shifts for twelve hours every day.

The younger students who are helping to save the town are only in elementary school. Some children are smaller than the sandbags they are filling. The support from the students has continued into their spring break.

Governor John Hoeven said the sandbagging depended on the student volunteers. He said, "They're moving those bags like crazy…They are taking pride in helping their community and we are grateful."

The impact that these students have had on their community is incredible. This is an experience that they students will remember the rest of their lives.

Western Union, in partnership with Check City offers cheap, affordable and reliable Money Transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world.  It is a great way to send money to a college student that needs a little extra help or a birthday present to your cousin Polly's 50th when you don't know what else to get for her. You can even send Money Transfers to our troops so if your husband, or even your wife, is out of the country, serving in the armed forces, you can send them money as well.  The process is simple and can be done through both Check City and Western Union.

Here are just a few of the countries that we can send your money to.

• Bermuda
• Kuwait
• Tunisia

Any country with a U.S. Military base has an option for sending it straight to the military base and there are 4 different ways to have the money distributed to the receiver.  You can have it delivered to their home (within the continental U.S. only), do a money in minutes transfer, do an economy transfer, or have it deposited directly into the recipient's bank account.

1. Money in Minutes: When you choose the money in minutes option the recipient can literally have the money in minutes.  It is a little more expensive to do, because the transfer occurs so fast, but if money is needed now, it is a great way to go.  You can also have someone send money to you with money in minutes when you are needing a financial boost and get that money immediately by going into a Check City or Western Union Location and picking it up.  All you need to send the money is, of course the money and the country and city where the money will be received and the recipient can walk into the Western Union and pick it up within minutes.
2. Home Delivery: Home delivery is an overnight service, available only in the continental United States.  The money is transferred to the recipient via a Western Union Money Wise Prepaid Visa Card via Fed Ex. You will need the receivers address, name and phone number in order to send money this way.
3. An Economy Transfer: An economy transfer is a little cheaper way to send the Money Transfer but still get it there quick. With an economy transfer they usually get it within 72 hours. You will need to know the country and city name of where you are sending the money for this transfer service as well.
4. Direct Deposit to Bank Account: With a direct deposit to the recipient's bank, it will take about three business days, the same amount of time that the majority of direct deposits take.  The catch to this one is that your recipient must have a qualifying bank account and the policies and information you will need to know in order to send the money will vary by country.
