Commonwealth stamp launched

Nov 27, 2009 News

The Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) on Wednesday hosted a brief ceremonial launch of a specially produced stamp to commemorate the Commonwealth.
According to Henry Dundas, acting Post Master General, this is the fifth stamp launched for 2009 – this one commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Commonwealth.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors at the GPOC, Bishop Juan Edghill, said the strength of the Philatelic Department has increased since sales have made a tremendous leap and persons are showing more interest in stamp collections.
“While Monday will be another stamp launching for the 150th anniversary of the National Library, we have also encouraged his Excellency to take stamps to give his colleagues and fellow Heads of States,” Edghill said
He added that next year the GPOC will be able to announce the stamp collection to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Mashramani and the Amerindian cultural tribes, while there are plans to look at bridges, birds, mining and children to have a new concept of stamp collections produced.
He further informed that the Prime Minister bought the first set of 200 stamps, and that they will be sold internationally and will be a hallmark of the nation’s history.
Prime Minister Samuel Hinds formally launched the stamp.
