Our History
On the engagement of Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip, Lady Dos Santos mounted a fund-raising programme to buy the Princess a wedding gift from the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Princess, however, requested that the money raised should be used to build a Home for the handicapped children, mainly because of the Polio epidemic, hence our Center’s name.
Governing Body
The Centre is run by an Association who comprises of a council of fifteen persons appointed in an honorary capacity. From its members the council appoints a management committee to oversee operations.
