Student Stories

Here we are with our returnees, sharing their experiences and what they feel about AFS...



Neil Kwok, AFS Returnee - New Delhi

”For me the most enriching experience was not only integrating myself in the US but to also broad my view of other nations ranging from Ghana to Brasil. I have really enjoyed cultivating these relations with such a vast variety of people.”


Rujuta Patil, AFS Returnee - Pune

”I went to USA on the Yes Scholarship and that entire year was like a dream come true. My host family, the Hynes was very nice and caring. I did adventurous things like skiing, rafting, ice skating and also game presentations on Indian culture. This stay in the US itself is the most rewarding experience.”


Tanvee Shevade, AFS Returnee - Pune

”The whole year as an exchange student in USA was the best experience with AFS as it has changed my life completely.”


Isha Ingalgaonkar, AFS Returnee - Pune

”The whole of my exchange year in Norway my personality got a lot of good feathers in its cap. I became independent began to have my own opinions view towards life changed a lot plus I got to learn a foreign language.”


Shraddha Bahirat, AFS Returnee - Pune

”The most rewarding experience with AFS is that it made me more confident about myself. Because before I always needed some one while taking any decisions.”


Shreyansh Kankaria, AFS Returnee - Pune

”The AFS experience in USA was very unique & cant forget it for sure. But the main thing I learnt is, when we came back & started volunteering & learning new things about developing AFS India by helping other students to have the same experience as we had.”
