What happens when you mix immersion travel and interfaith dialog? It was a life changing experience for participants of The National Peace Foundation's Religion and Society Program, which brought delegations of community leaders from the Middle East to America, and vice versa. For her work directing the trips, Wisconsinite Sahar Taman has been recognized with a 2010 Citizen Diplomat award.
