Oman - White Cane Day

A white cane is associated to the blind and October 15 each year was designated as White Cane Safety Day. The Sultanate of Oman has issued a postage stamp on 15 October 2004, of an unusually large size (8 x 9 cm). Apart from the Arabic and English, the stamp has the embossed writing, the Braille, enabling the blind to read it. This feature makes the stamp unique. Besides, it has the emblem of the Al Noor, the Association for the Blind Sultanate of Oman.
