Arnold Bascom of No 41 Village, West Coast Berbice celebrated his 100th birthday in July but looks more like he was in his 70s.

With no medical complaints and his sight and hearing intact he is quite independent and can travel on his own to take care of his affairs.

He keeps himself active by cleaning his yard where he has a few banana and other fruit trees
