Own a Mint Sheet Honoring Princess Diana's Humanitarian Work

This touching mint sheet features a memorable Diana quote: "Anywhere I see suffering, that is where I want to be, doing what I can."  And pictures her humanitarian work in action, working with HALO (an anti-landmine organization) and the Red Cross.  

Diana had a genuine concern for the well-being of others and did all she could to help them and make their situations known throughout the world, encouraging others to help, too.

One of the more publicized causes Diana dedicated herself to was the abolishment of land mines.  She was very vocal about ridding the world of land mines.  Her concern was for the number of injuries created by land mines.  Her main focus was the injuries to children, and the long-term problems following these incidents.  Diana’s voice didn’t go unheard.  Many believe that her campaign was influential in the Ottawa Treaty, which banned the use of anti-personnel land mines.  Unfortunately, this legislation didn’t go into effect until after her death.

During her lifetime, Diana was also a member of a number of other charitable organizations.  These included the Royal Marsden NHS Trust (a cancer fund), The Leprosy Mission, and Centerpoint Soho (assisting homeless youths).  She was also an active supporter of the Greater Ormond Street Children’s Hospital and the English National Ballet.
