Carmit Bachar

Carmit Bachar, an original member of The Pussycat Dolls says, “Each of us must give back and create community to overcome the stigma and challenges associated with many different causes.”  Being born with cleft lip and palate, Carmit feels she has been given a direct purpose. “As I have been so fortunate, I am filled with the desire to share and give back. I have been able to live my dreams of performing all over the world, so it’s only natural that I want to reach children through my passion for creative arts.” Creative stimulation can build imagination, which results in freedom and full expression. It builds self-esteem and acceptance for ones uniqueness as well. “The arts have truly changed my life, and now my mission is to inspire children to smile with me!” Carmit has assembled a wonderfully generous team of friends, family and entertainment colleges to join forces and make a difference all over the world!
