ABOUT TVIND ALERT

Tvind Alert is not a 'hate' page, but a website devoted to researching and sharing a full range of information about the Humana People-to-People movement, Tvind and its creator, Amdi Petersen, in the light of allegations of financial corruption and the claim that it is a secular cult.

We recognise the good intentions of Tvind volunteers and generally support all those who have become involved with Tvind in the belief that they are doing good.   Unfortunately without further resources we are unable to guarantee a detailed reply to every request for advice or help.   We receive dozens of messages every month.    The information posted on Tvind Alert is carefully researched and is intended to assist individuals, parents, schools, local authorities and charities (and even government departments)  in deciding whether or not to support Tvind.    However we always welcome further information that can be used to build up the dossier on the website.

We welcome offers of assistance, expertise or financial aid to help make this website a leader in the field of investigative journalism.
