I truly hope that all you people will some day find someone else to pick on-maybe the Red Cross for not spending donations made for humanitarian issues on building swimming pools for its employees! Embezzlement of money, tax fraud or not, the NGO's connected to Humana People to People in Africa still do very important work down there. I've been there, I've seen it. It's way easier to spread gossip around than it is to do so with serious journalism based on the truth and not on speculations and rumors.

Yes, IKEA has a big superstore in Schaumburg, Illinois, outside of Chicago. Also one in New Jersey, I believe... I'd love to see what the Swedish article says....
Does anyone know if Tvind members can reclaim their contributions over the years if it can be proved that they have become the victims of a massive fraud. Drew

Things like saying that someone is a moron because they defend Tvind and Amdi does not get you anywhere. If you have arguments put them forward but don't put people down. LISTEN and make up your mind. And if you only read newspapers and see websites like this then I don't give much for your arguments.

IKEA is in Chicago, USA too - isnt it?
IKEA and TVIND cooperates!!! Today Swedens leading newspaper had an articel revealing that the two companeis meantioned above have many connections. For ex. Tvind companies produce the furniture that IKEA sells in China. For those of You who can read swedish: http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?p=DNet&d=11&a=254572&f=index.html
To "Blentz", below... there is no disagreement between the Danish and US systems of law ... it's just that it is not allowed for a person who fights extradition in the US to be extradited without a trial. This extradition issue is separate completely from whether Amdi is innocent or guilty of the Danish charges... If Amdi had decided to go quietly without fighting extradition, then he'd be back in Denmark and on trial right now... The US did well to apprehend Amdi... and to hold him... and to continue to hold him, despite the several requests Shapiro has made to have him released on bond... that (to me) means the US Attorney is on to Amdi, at least enough to be wary of the possibility of his skipping town if he's freed even for a moment... I echo what a poster a long way down the list said a couple of weeks ago... that is... the US jails are a LOT tougher than they are in Denmark... Let Amdi feel what it's like to be a convict in the US for a while...he'll be happy to get back home, then, won't he?
Luis, you can email "feedback@tvindalert.org.uk" . Just tell your story on the page.
hi i'm a portuguese guy who have been in denmark(fakse, lindersvold school) for 5 mouths. fortunaly I found out in time what humana is all about,they ask me to leave coz I didn't have the same ideas. i'd like to tell my story. please tell me to where I can write it to my personnel adress: luis1coelho@hotmail.com greetings for all tvindalert people luis rodrigues coelho portugal
Since they arresting of Amdi. They told the teachers group to remove the teachers group business in there computers. Now they don't put things on papers. I want to go with them and this as to stop.
To the last poster:
Tying to defend a brainwashing fascist like Amdi with pocket philosophy will get you nowhere.
Because the Earth is round, Amdi must be innocent? Kinda sounds like a Shapiro/O.J defense allright, but puh-leeeze!!!
And you're a moron and will be found even dumber
The earth was flat and the world spun around the earth, everyone knew that. Until it was proven otherwise, even though it was proven, it took a long time before people accepted the thought without trying to burn the person saying it....
He has been charged and he WILL be found guilty.
How can you all be so sure that Amdi is guilty. He is hardly charged and last I checked you were innocent untill proven guilty. And he is definitely NOT convicted yet. Would you not want that for yourself if you were in a situation with the law? Does he not have the same human rights as anybody else, I might ask.

This Tvind-matter is not a matter of beeing logic, and it is not correct when you claim that there are no "charges" against Amdi and 5 other leading persons in Tvind. The danish police has material enough to issue an internationale warrant for arrest on Ambi, however there seems to be some disagreement between the american and the danish juridical system, but this does not mean that he isn`t "charged", because he is according to danish law. It is correct that it has been very diffucult to reveal if Ambi is the "head" of the Tvine impire. Nevertheless the danish police has evidence that he is.According to this the most fair decision would be to extradite Amdi to the danish police authorities where he will have a fair trial. But how can Ambi be "proven guilty" if Shapiro succeds in his business??? blentz@ofir.dk
while I dont dispute that many in the TG genuinely are there in "an attempt to do good work and to work and live together in a new way" there is no escaping the fact that millions of dollars have been salted away to line the pockets of so few. The old adage power corrupts does apply and the general public to boot have been fleeced (thats tax payers in many a country and those who donate in other ways). I can only hope some of the funding for projects that have escaped off shore accounts have done at least a little good, though judging from written accounts and newspaper reports, many of these projects were ill thought out and unproductive to say the least. Sorry but the hard facts are out there now.
How does Amdi rate being put in Solitary???????????
I have wondered, too, what will happen to the TG. Will they be independently-minded enough to carry on without the influence of KLAP? We'll see if they are, and if they then are creative enough/lacking in white Northern European racist arrogance enough/intellectually open and flexible enough, to carry out the best of what might have been the original, if unformed, intent of that little band of young, naive "Gypsy" hippies 30 years ago. Somehow (given the TG has continued to give up their own best intentions to follow the wiles of KLAP over the past many years, blind and unquestioning), I don't have a great amount of hope for that, but stranger things have happened. I wouldn't be opposed to the smartest, most honest (if there are any -- again, how can one be considered "honest," when one is aware that massive amounts of money donated to literally save peoples' lives is being swept away into the coffers of the persons at the top ) and best-intended of the TG becomming a legitimate, and legitimately useful NGO, and putting the millions of dollars intended for that use TO that use, but not having developed any skills in the area of thinking and acting independently, I doubt they'd be able to pull it off (And I'm not sure they'd know what to do with all that money!!!)
I am sure that there are many who will share my view that the glee of recent posters will be short-lived. Amdi and his key associates may well end up in prison, the funds they have controlled confiscated perhaps, but the teachers' group will continue in one form or another, despite the determination of the Danish authorities/media and this web-site to abolish it. The group will continue because it is based on sound ideals, however far you and I may disagree with the way the work has progressed. It will continue because there is an enormous amount of solidarity among members built up over years. I have been a member of the teachers' group, but I disagree with some of their policies and actions. I remain, however, a supporter of the teachers' group work because I trust the core ideals of its leaders. I have worked with many of the people named in the court documents and I know their ideals are NOT based on self-interest or self-enrichment. They are GENUINELY based on an attempt to do good work and to work and live together in a new way. Amid the discourse popular now concerning globalisation, international affiars and the role of the non-state actor, it is interesting to note that the teachers' group may be one of the earliest truly non-state actors under the popular, current definition of the term. I realise that this contribution may attract criticism and perhpas even ridicule and insult, but perhaps we can balance out this debate a little.
Hope this great swindler finally gets his just rewards, we can but hope that the legal system works as it should do and a con merchant of Amdi's VAST proportions is justly reprimanded and punished along with all the other Tvind crooks. Looking forward to the Radio 4 broadcast.
Readers may like to know that a half hour BBC radio programme on Tvind, Crossing Continents, will be aired on Radio 4 at 11am on Thursday 21st March. Tvind Alert assisted with the research. (And they didn't even buy us lunch.....)
Welcome to America Amdi - Where we PAY our taxes!
YeeeHawww! Welcome Amdi!
Let's welcome Amdi into another few weeks, months or years custody c/o the American and Danish prison systems.
I KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE OTHER US TVIND SCHOOLS. THE SCAM HAS BEEN UNCOVERED. THEY WILL SOON CLOSE TOO. THE TVIND EMPIRE IS FALLING APART.
Hi everyone
I have joined to go to Noway in the Summer I will not be going anymore - partly because I am shocked and horrified at the stories that appear on this website and although many have argued that they are unfounded stories like this should not be appearing at all. There are many many organisations out there that need volunteers and i personally am not prepared to take the risk in Norway.
Campus California closed down? Maybe too much press in California with Amdi being there. How will this affect other US Tvind schools?
hello,i am henri, back from africa and humana...
hard to come back

The women that writes about her son. What does her son think?
We know him and we know the story, what is nothing as the mother writes.
Actually Berlingske Tidende broke the Treyton-IKEA story some time ago, you can read more about it on Tvindalert under "China"
I have also seen Tvind and Humana close up and didnt like what i saw. This site has been helpful to a lot of people, who have had less than pleasant experiences during their time involved with this monolithic organisation. Its good to know that the media outside scandinavia have picked up on this and the people who run this website should be commended for providing an alternative voice (warts and all) to the Tvind Empire. if Tvind turns into an accountable concern with money and aid going to those who need it most and without a corrupt leader like Amdi at the helm then surely this is better than the system that Tvind operates under at the moment.
Ummmm - weren't you just sitting in front of your computer writing in the guessbook here? Just because one's opinion isn't the same as yours doesn't mean that what they are writing is stupid and senseless. There are lots of posts from current and former students and members of the TG here. How can you say that someones ACTUAL experience (be it different than yours) is rumor or speculation? There are two sides to every story. Not everyone had the same experience as you, although some did. So because you did have a good experience, should we say you are writing stupid and senseless shit because your experience is not the same as those who didn't? Of course not. You had your time, it was good - that's great. Some people did NOT have a good experience - that's not good. They have every right to post that here. That is what this message board is for. People who are considering entering one of the Tvind schools come here and read the posts - the good and the bad- and then form their own opinion. Putting down the people who run this web site tells me alot about you. Be open to everyones opinion. We all have a right to one, don't we?
I truly hope that all you people will some day find someone else to pick on-maybe the Red Cross for not spending donations made for humanitarian issues on building swimming pools for its employees! Embezzlement of money, tax fraud or not, the NGO's connected to Humana People to People in Africa still do very important work down there. I've been there, I've seen it.

Amdi and his key associates may well end up in prison, the funds they have controlled confiscated perhaps, but the teachers' group will continue in one form or another, despite the determination of the Danish authorities/media and this web-site to abolish it. The group will continue because it is based on sound ideals, however far you and I may disagree with the way the work has progressed. It will continue because there is an enormous amount of solidarity among members built up over years. I have been a member of the teachers' group, but I disagree with some of their policies and actions. I remain, however, a supporter of the teachers' group work because I trust the core ideals of its leaders. I have worked with many of the people named in the court documents and I know their ideals are NOT based on self-interest or self-enrichment. They are GENUINELY based on an attempt to do good work and to work and live together in a new way. Amid the discourse popular now concerning globalisation, international affiars and the role of the non-state actor, it is interesting to note that the teachers' group may be one of the earliest truly non-state actors under the popular, current definition of the term. I realise that this contribution may attract criticism and perhpas even ridicule and insult, but perhaps we can balance out this debate a little.
Hope this great swindler finally gets his just rewards, we can but hope that the legal system works as it should do and a con merchant of Amdi's VAST proportions is justly reprimanded and punished along with all the other Tvind crooks. Looking forward to the Radio 4 broadcast.
Readers may like to know that a half hour BBC radio programme on Tvind, Crossing Continents, will be aired on Radio 4 at 11am on Thursday 21st March. Tvind Alert assisted with the research. (And they didn't even buy us lunch.....)

The women that writes about her son. What does her son think?
We know him and we know the story, what is nothing as the mother writes.
Actually Berlingske Tidende broke the Treyton-IKEA story some time ago, you can read more about it on Tvindalert under "China"
I have also seen Tvind and Humana close up and didnt like what i saw. This site has been helpful to a lot of people, who have had less than pleasant experiences during their time involved with this monolithic organisation. Its good to know that the media outside scandinavia have picked up on this and the people who run this website should be commended for providing an alternative voice (warts and all) to the Tvind Empire. if Tvind turns into an accountable concern with money and aid going to those who need it most and without a corrupt leader like Amdi at the helm then surely this is better than the system that Tvind operates under at the moment.
