An excellent
beginning of a dream journey
Philately
is a hobby, Philately is a dream
We, philatelists,
are mainly dreamer. We always dream about our collection. We dream to collect
the rarest pieces of our subject of interest. We always longing for
world-famous and notable stamps and other postal items. We vision that we will
arrange wonderful collection and that will be appreciated in an international
arena.
Beside personal
collection, we hope for the betterment of philately in Bangladesh. Nowadays
many young people still pick stamps as their hobby. We think this kind of hobby
can act as a weapon against drugs and terrorism.
From that point
of view, we have united and formed an organization named Philatelic Society of
Bangladesh, to disseminate individual’s dream to others. Against all odds, the
organization was formed in 1st May 2019 by a number of philatelic
dreamers. This united and organized force helps to spread philatelic knowledge
through magazines, seminars, and workshops. Stamps collectors formed
various organizations jointly after the independence of Bangladesh, but
gradually most of them became inactive. In the present time, only a few of them
publish magazines and exhibit stamps irregularly, except those there are no
other activities which can contribute to the advancement of philately in
Bangladesh. Hence the young generation is not exposed to philately in a wide
range.
The goal and
motive of our organization will be the development of philately in Bangladesh.
This organization will tie up all philatelic people like a family and with the
guidance of experienced collectors young ones will enrich their collection. And
they will accelerate the advancement of philately in Bangladesh. To achieve
this goal our organization is giving first priority to publish a magazine by
which collectors will be benefitted with various kinds of contents like current
affairs of the philatelic world, collection technique, exhibition news and so
on. To accomplish our goal we will arrange seminars and workshops regularly so
that young stars can learn about philately from the seasoned ones. Apart from
this we also are going to organize the philatelic exhibition from that we can
assess and update our collection.
Meanwhile, our
organization arranged a joint workshop with Prothom Alo’s Kishor
Alo Adda on philately to ignite the interest about philately among the
teenagers. More than hundred teens participated in that program. Besides that,
we also exhibited thematic stamps and coins on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman in 21st and 22nd of
August.
Part of the
development of philately we are trying to publish a philatelic newsletter in a
regular interval. We hope that with your active support this effort will bring
success.
