Philatelic Garbology - What we do

print this page

We collect used stamps and sell them to raise much needed funds for various charities.

Did you know that for $25.00 a blind person can regain their vision?   Such is the work of the Northern Territory Outreach Optometry Project which co-ordinates eye care to remote communities in the Top End through the Fred Hollows Foundation.

Cataract blindness is the most common cause of blindness in the world today – and can be cured with the insertion of an intra-ocular lens.

If Philatelic Garbology continues to be supported by all Clubs we can reasonably expect to restore sight to many of our fellow Australians in 2010/2011 – and you don’t have to spend a cent!

TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE – COLLECT USED STAMPS

Recent stamp issues are more valuable; please get the stamps to me a.s.a.p.
