Issued by the Republic of Haute-Volta (now Burkina Faso), this 75 Franc stamp commemorates the International Year of the Child in 1979. It depicts a heartwarming village scene where an elder shares stories with a group of attentive children under a tree, reflecting themes of community, education, and generational knowledge. In the background, children play freely, embodying the essence of childhood and the right to joy and learning. The official International Year of the Child emblem appears in the upper right.
