There\u2019s no denying the power of art \u2014 especially when it comes to kids\u2019 creativity. Basel Buddies, a Miami-based 501c3 charitable organization founded by sisters-in-law Manoela and Tori Burstyn, is ensuring children from all backgrounds have beneficial creative outlets.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasel Buddies came about during the pandemic when I was able to provide an outlet of creativity for my children at home,\u201d Manoela says. \u201cThis got me thinking about the underprivileged community that didn\u2019t have the same opportunities as my kids and how I wanted to change that for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The organization partners with local and well-known artists to create one-of- a-kind artworks that raise funds for troubled children to explore creative passions. \u201cWe believe providing kids with a creative outlet gives them the chance to explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, learn how to cope with stress, boost their self-esteem, and expand their social skills,\u201d Manoela explains. \u201cWe also donate art supplies to various organizations so kids can get creative on their own time.\u201d<\/p>\n
