HONOLULU--Manoa Boy Scout Troop 33 donated two Automated External Defibrillators (AED's) to the Special Education Center of Hawaii (SECOH) during the Troop's March 2011 Court of Honor. The Troop 33 scouts received the AED's from Cardiac Science as their prize for winning the National Video Competition on the importance of having an AED. The award was presented at the most recent National Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. (To view video, go to www.troop33manoa.com)

Troop 33 shot their award winning video at SECOH's Founder's Center on Oahu. With a great understanding of the importance of having access to AED's in schools and public places, Troop 33 donated their prize to SECOH, a not for profit organization that provides personalized services to people with disabilities of all ages in the spirit of enriching lives.
Receiving the AEDs on behalf of SECOH was Sandra Yoro, Executive Director. "We commend these fine young men for their talents in creating this video and for caring about and making a difference to the communities in which they live. Troop 33 has donated time to SECOH for past service projects and we are so pleased that their good works are receiving national recognition," Yoro said.

SECOH provides a wide range of personalized, innovative and dynamic services to people with disabilities of all ages and the elderly to sustain them in home settings rather than long-term care facilities. They operate six community centers in Kahala, Kalihi, Pearl City, Waipahu, Ewa Beach and Wahiawa. Their services include Adult Day Health, Adult Day Care, Respite, Personal Assistance/Habilitation, Residential Habilitation and Skilled Nursing.
