Dutch Children's Stamp Campaign Launch, 1971

Netherlands · 1971 ·

This listing describes the launch of the annual Dutch children's stamp campaign on November 9, 1971, on Dam Square in Amsterdam. Mevrouw Samkalden is depicted initiating the fundraising effort, which involves selling special stamps with a surcharge benefiting children's charities.

The Kinderpostzegels (children's stamps) tradition in the Netherlands dates back to 1924, with annual issues raising significant funds for youth welfare. The 1971 campaign continued this important philanthropic tradition, engaging the public in supporting vulnerable children.
