The Institute of Interfaith Dialog-Houston organized the award ceremony for the Art of Friendship Contest recently at the Istanbul Conference Center in honor of the top 10 middle school and top 10 high school selections. Each winning student was presented with an honorary certificate as well as prizes that ranged from gift cards to Hobby Lobby to a new Apple iPad. Eisenhower students Rosa Herrera, a 10th grader, and senior Som-Mai Nguyen both won iPod Nanos. Both are art students of Dr. MichaelAnn Kelley.

The Institute of Interfaith Dialog (IID) grew out of the need to address the question, “How can citizens of the world live in peace and harmony?” The Institute is a non-profit educational organization established by Turkish-Americans and their friends. The Institute aims to eliminate or reduce false stereotypes, prejudices and unjustified fears through direct human communication.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the Institute has branch offices in five states and representatives throughout the South-Central United States.
