IDEALIST.ORG HOSTS A DEBATE ON TVIND

'Idealist.org' a website that lists many thousands of volunteering organisations, has been hosting a fascinating discussion on Humana on its message board.     Many ex-volunteers have criticised Tvind programmes, and Humana has replied accusing the Danish government and media of lies and propaganda.   Action Without Borders, which runs the website, is "a global network of individuals and organizations working to build a world where all people can live free and dignified lives."

ABOUT TVIND ALERT
Tvind Alert is a voluntary set-up dedicated to investigating the international Tvind organisation and its creator, Amdi Petersen. Tvind Alert was created by British journalist Michael Durham and receives no subsidy or financial support. (Some of us write books and occasional articles but believe us, investigating Tvind is not a lucrative occupation.) We welcome interesting new information and you can contact us at feedback@tvindalert.org.uk.  The story of Tvind Alert can be found at:
