January 27th, 1875, was the date that Dominica saw the birth of its most illustrious daughter, Elizabeth Israel.
According to official records of The Roman Catholic Church (Roseau Diocese), Magdeline Israel, mother and an undocumented father gave birth to baby Elizabeth.
Although Elizabeth's mother resided on The Colihaut Estate situated on the west coast of Dominica, she while in an advance state of her pregancy with Elizabeth; migrated (by foot) to an area of The Picard Estate called Tibay.
It was in Tibay that "Pampo" was born and being the first of her mother's six children, she enjoyed the luxury of their trash covered, mud-paved house.
"Pampo" grew up to be the second mother of the family making way for her mother to continue her duties as a laborer on the Picard Estate, where she worked for less than a penny a day.
It was not long however, at the age of 12 that Elizabeth who was then a student at the Portsmouth School, joined the labour force on the same Estate.
School days for "Pampo" was over and it was survival time. The years were long, time was hard but with determination, sweat, and courage "Pampo" persevered.
Her direct quotes will fully disclose those years of trials.
To obtain an audio copy (caskette) of "Pampo's" original and first recorded interview, email or mail a request.
127 years after her birth, this lady is still alive and well.
Pampo the world oldest, ever documented human, currently resides in Gladvillia, Dominca, W.I.

Quoted from CNN:
"A Dominican woman, Elizabeth Israel, was said to be 125 years old but the Guinness Book of Records said Mrs Morris had taken the title because her date of birth could be fully authenticated."

The Queen is doing well for her age. She is 75 and she still rides horses!
