Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4–7

Testimonials
Dedication and love
I am saying this in all honesty Asha, hope you find this useful. It's been 4 months since my little girl started her journey with Astitva and already I see tremendous growth in her personality. It is a joy to watch her come into her own. This has been possible because the dedication and love I see the therapists and staff have in abundance for all their children. May they grow and impact as many a child and give as much hope and strength as Trisha and I have received.Kaveri
