I've been searching for several stamps from Rwanda released in 2003 about children and AIDS. According to a circular on the UPU website, these are the last valid stamps they released until at least 2007. They're also a nightmare to find -- no one carries them or can find them.
Alas, I have no idea what the Scott numbers are for these stamps. I'm off to the library tomorrow to do some research. If I am able to find it I'll post an addendum with what I learn.

Please let me know if you are able to find them.

bonjour stephen,
unfortunately, the 2007 scott stops listing stamps for rwanda in 1999. this was probably due to the unstable situation in the government and the civil war that was ongoing for several years. it would seem the UPU also had the same opinion of spurious issues being put on the market and this is the reason you are having a hard time finding your stamps. perhaps they are listed in the michel catalogs, i may have that one, but i am not sure how current my catalog is. good luck in your search.
