Young philatelist has an eye on the future

At the age of 13, Nasser Bin Ahmad Alserkal is the youngest member of the Emirates Philatelic Association and already an award-winning collector reports Dubai’s XPRESS.

Nasser started collecting when he was eight years old when his father, also a collector, gave him an envelope with some stamps on it. The eldest of four brothers, Nasser is a eighth grade student with "an eye on the future."

He's quoted in the article as saying, “When I am 30 years old, I think I will stop collecting stamps. I want to teach my kids things about philately, just the way my father supported me.”
