The 120 Year Old Club: Working Towards Unprecedented Longevity
By: Astrid Barnet
The Caribbean Medical Association (AMECA), a non-governmental organization and part of the Association of Caribbean States, created the 120 Year Old Club on September 24, 2003 as an unique project to gather together people who wanted to live until the age of 120 while maintaining a high quality of life. The Club supports its members' personal commitment and contributes in such a way that more people can attain their objectives.
The creation of this Club, a very noble and futuristic project, has been directed and put into practice by a Cuban Professor. He is Dr. Eugenio Selman, Chairman of AMECA, who developed this idea for Cubans and citizens from other countries who wish to become members.
The Club is not exclusively for the elderly but is open to people of all ages including adolescents. The varied mix of ages and differences between the individuals encourages a high level of creativity and helps to motivate its members
