Eliminating Stereotypes Through Education 

Testimonials

As a social studies teacher, I know the value of understanding the diverse religions of the world and how they relate to history and current events. The Islam 101 presentation brought to my students a vital understanding of Islam and the customs of Muslims around the world. Your bureau provides an invaluable tool for teachers in their endeavor to cover this topic with their students. - Middle School Social Studies Teacher

Thank you for a very informative presentation. Our ladies' group learned so much and it is amazing how much we have in common. - President of a Ladies Church Group

I'd like to thank you for coming to our high school. My Gifted and Honors World Geography students really enjoyed your presentation, and it was a great way for students to learn that all the things they hear on the news about the Middle East, Islam, and Muslims are not necessarily true. Your authentic approach was a great way to dispel the misconceptions that exist in our world today. - A High School Gifted and Honors World Geography Teacher

The best presentation on working with the Muslim patient that I have ever seen. - Pastoral Care at a Medical Facility

Keep up the good work. We need to learn more about each other to build a stronger community. - Faith Based Organization

We are still "hyped" by the dialogue. We learned so much about Islam, and made two great friends in the process. By beginning an interfaith dialogue, a heart-to-heart exchange among Buddhist and Muslim women, we took a bold step toward world peace. Our President Ikeda has said that the 21st Century will be the Century of the Woman. World peace will require that women lead. Some men will lead, too, of course, but it will be women and men who can build bridges, cross borders, and dismantle barriers. Our dialogue was just that: Women Crossing--bridges, borders, and barriers. - A Buddhist Women's Group Leader

I am genuinely grateful to your speakers and the ISB for being such dependable, and delightful collaborators with me over the years in my efforts to widen the religious horizons of my students. Without your support, this class, which is constantly in demand, wouldn't be at all successful, and I assure you that my students were energized and inspired (as always) by your speakers' presentation. - A College Professor
