Meet the Cezar Family from Aklan! ✨

Opening their home to AFS exchange students has been a truly meaningful journey for them—one filled with learning, growth, and lasting memories.

What started as welcoming guests quickly turned into forming real family connections. Through shared daily life, they gained a deeper appreciation of different cultures and a new perspective on the world beyond their own.

Seeing their students adjust, thrive, and build new friendships has been both inspiring and rewarding for the whole family.

Still thinking about going on exchange? This could be your moment 👀

AFS Philippines is continuing to accept applications for the AFS Asia and the Pacific Initiatives (AAI) Partial Scholarship, giving more students the chance to take part in a life-changing intercultural experience abroad.

If you’ve been considering applying, this is a good time to take that step.

AAI Partial Scholarships, offered in partnership with AFS countries across Asia and the Pacific, help make exchange programs more accessible by providing financial support for selected students. Participants spend a defined period in a host country, experiencing everyday life, education, and culture in a new environment.

Please note that this is a partial scholarship, and a corresponding program fee still applies depending on the destination. Details on costs, eligible countries, and program specifics are available in the briefer.

They say you can’t change the whole world, but you can change the whole world for one person 🌍

When you open your home to an exchange student, you’re doing so much more than giving them a place to stay. You become a mentor, a guide, and a second family. In the process, you help spark dreams, open new perspectives, and shape a young person’s view of the world in ways that stay with them for a lifetime.
