"As soon as I became familiar with the Foundation's mission and objectives I was captivated by the opportunity to be involved with an organization that was not only pursuing such commendable work, but also doing it in one of the world’s most fascinating regions. For me it is not just the cradle of civilization, but also the crossroads of East and West. This, together with its strong humanitarian commitment, makes the Saïd Foundation a dream place to work and it is a privilege to be part of the team." Julian Gore-Booth
