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.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.

This adding to Popes, Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops, or a Wider Catholic TitlesTopics to this release.

Then, these two Personalitiesrelates this issue with other Congregationsand Personalitiesfrom the Catholic Church. Fom the Cardinal Daniel Sturla, the Salesians of Don Bosco, or the Salesian Society, officially named the Society of Saint Francis de Sales, a Roman Catholic Religious Institute founded in the late nineteenth centuryby Saint John Boscoin order to help the young and poor children through charity in the Industrial Revolution, and with this Society the Personalities of Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco, popularly known as Don Bosco, and François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva. Then, from Pope Francis, The Society of Jesus, a male Religious Congregation of the Catholic Church, founded by Ignatius of Loyolain 1540, whose members are called Jesuits, and the personality of Saint Francis of Assisi, or San Francesco d'Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, but nicknamed Francesco.

From the Stamp, only the Typical Costumesof both Popesand CardinalsCatholic Titlesappears, with the addition of the minor ones Hats, and Glasses too.
