Norway PostPhilatelic Service

Dear Customer!This year marks 100 years since Norway’s hearing impaired became organised.This was the start of what would later be called Hørselshem-medes Landsforbund (National Federation for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing). Today, the federation consists of more than 62,000 members and is the world’s largest organisation of its kind. This anniversary will be celebrated at Oslo City Hall on 17 November, but the federation’s most important work is done on a daily basis, namely making every single day easier for people with hearing disabilities.

Next year is the 100th anniversary of Norges Døveforbund (Norway Association for the Deaf). This association has played a central role in the fight for the rights of the deaf. Today, it works actively to spread sign language. Even though the 100th anniversary is next year, the stamp will be issued already on 10 November. This means the stamp will be available for the entire anniversary year.

This year’s Christmas stamps were drawn by Ragnar Aalbu. He has devoted one stamp to a Christmas celebration in the country and one to a Christmas celebration in the city. These evocative stamps will adorn millions of Christmas cards during the weeks leading up to Christmas.

There are still a few weeks left until Christmas. Here at the Philatelic Service, we would like to wish you joy during your preparations for the holidays, and, once they arrive, a truly Merry Christmas!

På jobb for dei døve og høyrselshemmaGjennom hundre år har Hørselshemmedes Landsforbund og Norges Døveforbund arbeidd for eit samfunn med like mogelegheiter for døve og høyrselshemma som for høyrande.

Etter eit studieopphald i Danmark sti�a læraren Jacobine Rye i 1917 ei velforeining for tunghøyrde i Kristiania. Tunghørtes Vel, seinare Norges Hørselvern, går i dag under namnet Hørselshemmedes Landsforbund. HLF er den største høyrselsorganisasjonen i verda, med over 62 500 medlemmer. Dei arbeider opp mot politikarar og styres-makter med eitt mål for auge; å gjere kvardagen enklare for dei høyrselshemma.

Norges Døveforbund vart sti�a 18. mai 1918 og har i dag nærare 2 800 medlemmer fordelt på 22 lokallag og to fylkeslag. Organisasjonen skildrar seg sjølv som ein språkpolitisk organisasjon «for tegnspråklige og arbeider for å styrke norsk tegnspråks stilling på alle områder i samfunnet». Det overordna målet til Døveforbundet er å oppnå full deltaking og likestilling i samfunnet for døve og høyrselshemma.
