Pippa Spencer Nairn, Former CAABU Volunteer

"As a volunteer at CAABU, I have had a unique insight into the frenzy of daily activities that takes place in their one small office.  I have been incredibly impressed by the wide range of issues that CAABU deals with; from monitoring the UK coverage of the Arab World to organising parliamentary lobby days, in addition to visiting schools to talk about such topical issues as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Islamaphobia and the war in Iraq.   At the current time, when (mainly bad) news from the Arab World hits the headlines on a daily basis, CAABU has a huge task ahead and, I believe, should be encouraged and supported in all ways possible.  It seems that CAABU relies on willing volunteers to complete its work and it is an indication of both their high reputation and the great value of their work that so many young people are eager to contribute.  CAABU has given me a great opportunity to learn new skills as well as allowing me to further my own knowledge of politics in the Arab world and in the UK and I feel privileged to have played some small part in its work."
