Shanti Ashanti

Shanti Ashanti was named after her family's Non-profit Organization, a rare shelter for homeless and abused youth, Beit Hashanti, based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Raised with 40 different sisters and brothers at any given time, she was exposed to many unusual cases of kids in need of a loving home. In her late teens and early twenties, she worked as a guide in the home, helping many of her peers in their personal process to accept and leave the past behind them, while becoming strong individuals in society. Till today she's working as a mentor in the organization, helping the troubled youths choose life and guiding them to make their dreams a reality. The experience motivates and inspires her work in every field. Trained in Ballet and Modern dance from a young age, Shanti found her niche in performing and entertaining. As a teen, she was accepted into Israel's well-known High School for the Arts, Ironi Alef.
