UNICEF
The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, also known as the UNICEF or the U.N. Children’s Fund was established in 1953 to provide humanitarian and developmental aid to children throughout the world.
UNICEF’s work includes providing immunizations, preventing diseases, and treating children and their mothers for many illnesses and viruses. It also includes improving the nutrition and sanitation for children and pregnant women. They help with education and emergency assistance during disasters.
The stamps at the beginning and end of the second row are to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of UNICEF. They depict scenes from folklore and children stories.
Note
These are colorful stamps. I like all of them but the two sports related stamps. They were painted by LeRoy Neiman, an American artist famous for paintings like these of sports and athletes. It was very popular at this time. I never like that kind of art. It’s not that I like only realistic paintins like Andrew Wyeth’s works – which I like very much. I also like less realistic paintings like those of Marc Chagall and Salvador Dali. I just don’t like sports and I don’t like Neiman’s style.
