Total Control of the Epidemic
This
is the one part of the Tvind empire that few people have found much to say
anything bad about - yet. But see below.
Hope - jumping on the Aids bandwagon?
|
|
'Hope' or TCE (Total Control of the Epidemic) is an Aids project run by the Teachers Group in southern Africa, using a handful of volunteers and moderately trained project leaders.
Unlike many other Tvind projects, TCE has received a relatively good press. The contrast between Hope's success and Tvind's other projects is striking. Humana's anti-aids work has been awarded a prize by AGFUND, the Arab Gulf Programme for United Nations Development Organizations (a charitable body in Saudi Arabia - not part of the UN), and it has also been selected as the national Aids scheme by one or two African governments. It may be one of the more effective Tvind development aid projects.
Even so Hope has plenty of critics. In
Denmark the national Aids foundation has demanded that Hope is debarred
from using the internationally-recognised red ribbon symbol.
Aids in Africa is an emotive issue and allows the Teachers Group to
raise huge sums - many
questions have been asked about exactly how the money is used, whether
Hope's aims for 'Total Control of the Epidemic' (TCE) are realistic (or
just rhetoric - it has claimed it can wipe out the epidemic in three
years), and whether its campaigns are effective.

Danish
Aids foundation disassociates itself from Tvind
from Jyske Vestkysten, Denmark, October 2000
ESBJERG: AIDS-Foundation with the actress Susse Wold as president and professor Peter Skinhj as chairman dont want to be mistaken for Tvind.
At a meeting next week the AIDS-foundation will demand that Tvind no longer will use the international symbol for the fight against AIDS the red ribbon at money collections, writes the Jyske Vestkysten.
Teachers and pupils from the Danish Tvinds Institutions have, as a part of an International Tvind action, earlier this year been on the streets to collect money for the fight against AIDS in Africa.
Tvind believe they can stop AIDSepidemics in Africa in three years if they can collect sufficient economic support for it.
At the Tvinds first collection the AIDS-foundation had phone calls from many people who did not know that it was the Tvind who was organising the money collection.

December 2001: a team from CCTG California walked out of training for the new Hope Nigeria. A correspondent writes: "The only good thing is some teams see straight through it with the help of Tvind Alert. Like in California one whole team walked out from the programme they had set up to teach about Aids in Nigeria (again with no experience and no team leader to a new country)"

Tvind Alert contact James has offered to put Tvinds
TCE programme under the microscope for a new page on Tvind
