Freedom from Hunger Issued on March 21, 1963 (Showa 38)

Freedom from Hunger Issued on March 21, 1963 (Showa 38) The Hunger Free World (HFW) is an international cooperation NGO that works toward a world free of hunger. Today, one in ten people in the world is facing "chronic undernourishment" = "hunger". Getting the food we need is one of the most basic human rights. HFW is supporting the independence of residents to realize this "right to food". The stamp was issued in commemoration of the Japan Conference of Hunger Free World, and the earth and logo mark are designed.
