A postage stamp dedicated to the Special Olympics
Poczta Polska introduced into circulation the emission stamp of the "World Special Olympics Summer Games - Abu Dhabi 2019".
The character of a player crossing the finish line and athlete running with Olympic fire was moved on the stamp. The author of the stamp - Dorota Arczewska, permanently cooperating with the Association of Olympics Special Poland, also included the official logotype of the Games, which in a few days will start in the capital of the United Arab Emirates - Abu Dhabi.
Poczta Polska issues once again a post stamp dedicated to sporting events. Last year, the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games were celebrated. Postallaws also thanked Polish volleyball players for winning last year's world championships. However, to celebrate 50 years of Special Olympics last year a postcard was issued with a printed fee sign.
The World Special Olympic Games of the Abu Dhabi 2019 Special Olympics will be the largest sports and social event in the world this year. Over 7.5 thousand athletes from over 190 accredited programs will come to the United Arab Emirates. Over 2,600 trainers, 6,000 family members and over 20,000 volunteers from around the world will also take part in the games. The Polish team of Special Olympics has 90 people, including 64 players and 26 coaches, doctors and staff members.
The Games are a great holiday of tolerance and acceptance. Special Olympics show the whole world that people with intellectual disabilities achieve success in sport, just like they can realize their dreams in many other fields of life and social activity - at work, school or in family life.
