This week central coast residents are teaming up, to send aid to those who need it most.When computer programer Sean O'Brien got an E-mail asking for help with the relief efforts in Sri Lanka, O'Brien turned to the young men in Boy Scout troop 322 to help. "I wanted to do whatever I could to help with the relief effort, and I decided with my connection to the Boy Scouts, that it'd be good to get the scouts involved" said scoutmaster O'Brien. The scouts have set up drop boxes at Von's grocery store in San Luis Obispo. Weekly donations will be taken from there, and then sent to those in need in Sri Lanka. The group says aid is a long term effort, but say as long as people keep dropping off donations, they will continue to send aid to the areas hit hardest by the natural disaster. You can also help those overseas by donating to a Sri Lanka grocery store through the internet, simply click on the following link. For more information, visit www.keellsuper.com.
