Spending just a few hours each week or month helping kids have fun with stamps and things that go along with them is an invaluable service that you can provide.  But the service is not just to the hobby of collecting.  Much more importantly, it's a service to the children themselves -- and even to your family members or your local community.

There is as much to be learned from stamps about the world around us than you'll find anywhere else.  Corresponding with others around the globe firsthand brings more insight about their countries, their societies and humanity itself than can ever be provided by the evening news on TV.  Plus, the educational value to be gained is as convenient as your mailbox.

Above all, quality time spent helping others is always the biggest personal benefit.   Building great memories, to go along with a collection of mementos from that time spent together, is life at it's best!

Based on that premise, The Olathe Poste has created a fun way for anyone to:

• Gain more enjoyment collecting philatelic items. Even if you've never been a stamp collector before.
• A perfect chance to personally introduce more children today to a wonderful hobby;
• Have more fun with your own children or grandkids
• New fun & learning for clubs, classrooms or any group

We call it the International Local Post.
