The United Nations Postal Administration issued in September 2008 six commemorative stamps on the theme "We Can End Poverty" depicting the winning artworks of children in the art competition sponsored by the UN's Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
The theme of the competition was "We Can End Poverty" and it was held as part of the celebration of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and the end of the First Decade for the Eradication of Poverty.
This stamp was affixed to a UN postcard and mailed at the UN Post Office located in the UN headquarters in New York City. Thanks to my dear friend and fellow postcrosser Conniechiwa of Writings on the Wall for ever-so-thoughtful, never forgetting to send me postal love :)

What a marvellous stamp, a child with much talent. A noble aim, if only it could come true.
I like to see children's art. (I like it even better on postcards because you can see it better when it is larger).
