About this site

This is an investigation into an organisation called 'the Schools Co-operation Tvind' of Denmark, and its worldwide empire in more than 50 countries.

'Tvind' is a name for an international aid organisation and social movement, founded in 1970 by the Danish political activist Amdi Petersen.   It is now a huge international concern and uses its educational and development charities Humana People-to-People, Planet Aid, IICD, Campus California TG (and many, many others) to collect money and recruit young people as volunteers.

Amdi Petersen is now (January 2002) in jail awaiting trial for a $24 million (15 million) fraud over a small proportion of the wealth he collected.    In Scandinavia and many other parts of the world his movement is now widely regarded not as a bona-fide charity but as a commercial enterprise, a secretive political movement, or even a cult.

How can all this be?  Strange but true. This web site was prompted by the personal experiences of many Humana volunteers and research by journalists across the world.  It is not run by embittered former trainees, but by two independent journalists, in a spirit of enquiry, and with no political motivation or axe to grind.
