Charity Homecoming AFS Indonesia

To commemorate seven decades of AFS in Indonesia, Bina Antarbudaya will host the “Charity Homecoming 2026 – 70th Anniversary AFS Indonesia”, which will take place at Putri Duyung Beach Resort in Jakarta, on 4-6 December 2026. This is the first ever grand reunion in 70 years! The theme is “Pulang Kampung” (Coming Home) and it aims to bring together the extended AFS Bina Antarbudaya community—including alumni, volunteers, and host families—spanning generations, chapters, and countries.
AFS changed our lives. Now it’s our turn to change its future.
For 70 years, AFS Indonesia / Bina Antarbudaya has shaped global citizens and future leaders. Last year, an unforeseen world event caused it to lose approximately 60% of its funding in scholarship for our best Indonesian students. It needs us more than ever.
Come home. Give back. Keep the AFS legacy alive.
Join the Charity Homecoming 2026 – 70 Years AFS Indonesia!
PS: There are 7,700 returnees & volunteers, but only 1000 seats. So please buy the tickets now (and there will be special early bird prices for the first few weeks)!
