Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are:  Childhood and Youthand also Festivalsin general, and in particular the Festival of Childhood and Youth Juvenalia '98.

Now, looking at the desing of the Issue, some Topics arises. The first probably is Children Drawings, as the desing of the stamp was made by Melissa Madelen Migliozzi, who was eleven year oldat this time and was a student of Sixth grade of the Maria Auxiliadora College of Paso de los toros, a city of the TacuarembóDepartment, in Uruguay. Her drawing was the winner of a contestmade in the previous year instance of the same festival, Juvenalia '97, and the topic of the contest was "El juego", that means "The play" in the meaning of Children Playing, and the motto proposed by Melissa Migliozziwas "Para ayudar hay que jugar", that in english means something like: "In order to help, play is needed".

Besides this clear relationship with Children Drawing, as the design made by Melissa Migliozziwas two Handshititng a Ball, clearly in the way that most Volleyballhits are done, this release fit in a VolleyballCollection, and also in a wider SportsCollection too.

Finally, for the Mottoselected also Help, Aid, and Solidarity could be Topics of this Issue too.
