A stamp to honour TRF
To commemorate the work done by TRF as it celebrates its Centennial, the Pakistan Government has come out with a commemorative Rs 8 postage stamp on November 20. In its letter, the Director General of Pakistan Postal Services said this was “a tribute to celebrate and recognise the services rendered by The Rotary Foundation to humanity at large for the last 100 years”.
District 3272 DG Mir Arif Ali said the stamp and the First Day Cover had been issued to recognise, in particular, TRF’s immense contribution in providing clean water, saving the lives of mothers and children, supporting education and growing local economies by enabling employment and creating “opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old, strengthening local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities around the world.”
He added that the commemorative stamp was designed by his spouse Mahru, a member of RC Lahore Model Town, and it would go a long way in enhancing Rotary’s public image.
