Values
The peoples of South Asia are varied and beautiful. They represent different aspects of our society and together they help to shape our world everyday in random acts of kindness and faith.
Loyalty
In South Asia, loyalty to ones family is a chief concern. Working together they create better futures for one another and those around them as they strive for cohesion as a family.
