AFUNPR Indonesia

Still connected, long after the last posting

ABOUT US

An association run by its members, for its members

AFUNPR was formed by former United Nations personnel in Indonesia who wanted retirement to stay connected rather than quiet. Membership is voluntary, the management team serves without pay, and the association exists for the benefit of its members and those who come after them.
