Press Release

June 10, 2011: His Excellency the High Commissioner Garvin Nicholas received £10,000 (TT$110,000) on behalf of the Honourable Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar from Mr and Mrs Andy Thorne. This sum was donated to the Children's Life Fund.

The money was pledged to the Children’s Life Fund when the Honourable Prime Minister visited the United Kingdom in March 2011.

The Children's Life Fund was created to provide funding and critical support specifically for children needing life saving, tertiary-level health care services. This Fund was launched in August 2010 by the Honourable Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago who stated during her address to the UN General Assembly 2010: “It is our belief that children must not die in the dawn of life in my country - or in any other country - because they cannot afford health care. There must be new arrangements and relationships between countries that have advanced medical technology and those without so that children and vulnerable groups of the poorest nations can grow as healthy human beings and achieve their full potential. It is only when this is done that the world will progress. We have a duty to the future. It will be measured by how we fulfill our responsibilities today.”

His Excellency the High Commissioner Garvin Nicholas has reiterated the main goal of the Fund which is to provide access to life saving surgery abroad to children when that speciality is not available in Trinidad and Tobago.
