Was poking around the post office today looking for some stamps when I came across a new issue from the HK Post Office which looked oddly familiar.
The Volunteerism series of postage stamps contains one stamp which shows an “An email from co-workers brings good news on school redevelopment. Children’s smiling faces in the photo are the best gift for the aunties and uncles volunteering in the project”. The email is done as a message on an iPhone, complete with a battery indication, wifi and clock (but no carrier information). Kind of an interesting, if low budget way of designing a postage stamp.
Available from your local post office. If you really wanted one shoot me an email or a comment and I’ll see if I can get one and mail it to you.
They also have one that looks like a blog posting, if you are feeling really geeky:
$1.40 – A simple note and a green leaf on a diary page record happy moments of planting trees with mom. This shows that the seed of altruism has taken root in the child’s heart. $2.40 – A volunteer recruitment leaflet has been uploaded onto a blog to rally support from young people for a community charity event. $3 – An email from co-workers brings good news on school redevelopment. Children’s smiling faces in the photo are the best gift for the aunties and uncles volunteering in the project. $5 – A reminder on the calendar tells of an upcoming home visit with an elderly volunteer, conveying a strong feeling of worthiness among the silver-haired in caring about others.]]>
