GPOC releases four new locally themed postage stamps
Four new locally themed postage stamps were yesterday unveiled at the Hand-in-Hand Mutual Insurance Company in observance of the company’s 150 year anniversary.
The commemorative stamps.
Present at the ceremony were Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Annette Ferguson, and representatives from several other Insurance companies.
The recently unveiled stamps of $80 and $150 denominations are now available at select offices countrywide.
Minister Ferguson said that the stamps are a symbol of Guyana’s postal services’ laudable commitment to the development of the postal sector. They represent a Private Public Partnership financial structure for the Guyana Post office.
“The Guyana Post Office Corporation is pleased to be of service to the people and as we seek to build the public sector into a public private partnership, which will help to achieve policy goals and develop infrastructure while shifting short term financial burdens away from tax payers and strained government coffers,” related Ferguson.
Commemorative stamps are the perfect memorabilia to celebrate an anniversary or significant event. Such stamps are circulated both locally and internationally to a wide cross-section of people. Stamps also attract the interest of Philatelists who purchase, sell and store them as valuable collectables.
