The fundraising goes to cover the rest of the rest of the expenses in the programme, food, electricity etc....
As far as I know, the only school that actually fundraises partly for the projects are one in Norway, in the rest of the schools, all the fundraising is done to the school. Everything is explained as it is, where the fundraising goes, how it's done etc. But logically, if there are no other jobs, you can only do canvassing, ok?
To Jimmy:
My complaints
(1) Before joining I was led to believe that fundraising could take many different forms but when I arrived the only choice was canvassing.
(2) We were told that the money that was being raised would go 100 percent to our project and then we found out that the school was taking 50 percent or some percentage. thye never actauly told us how mcuh.
(3) I asked for an explanation for how the school finances worked and was told that it was not my concern. When I continued to ask I was given an explanation that made no sense. I don't know if the person was ignorant or hiding things. When I asked for more details I was told that it was "secret" because "outsiders" were looking for ways to make trouble.
(4) The instruction that we were offered had nothing to do with what we planning to go do. It was also very disorgniized. when we asked for more help or time to study we were told that we couldn't becuase we had to meet the otehr priorities like fund-raising.
Is that enough?
I believe that Denmark is the country in the world that have most of its energy produced by wind energy.
It was not like that in the 70-tiew when the "worlds biggest windmill" at Tvind were built
The windmill is as effeciant as other windmills, not much more and not much less.
This discussions starts to be useless, I say somehing, you attack it, I defend etc... shall we try change the conversation topic to something that really matters, the saving of life through development projects?
Since you in many replys are talking about saving lifes etc...
Do you think our projects are bad? I don't say we're foolproof, noone is, but I'd say that in total, we've done much much more good than bad.
If you prefer talking about the windmill, sure, we continue with that instead and I can go and get some more facts about it, so the discussion can be good.

Hello Anyone
After reading a few entry's in this guest book,and feeling like it's a conversation among family members and not really for the first timer's who really want to find out about Tvind ,and must at this time be quite confused. I'll be happy to tell the (virtually) unbiast story of My (almost 3 years) experience ,in three continents with Humana,Tvind,Dapp and Uff. The good , bad ,right and wrong , wonderfull opportunities and awfull reality of this unusual organisation or lack of organisition as I like to call it and give contact details of some 40 other individuals I met along the way.

You write that the electricity to the schools in Tvind, should have been produced from oil ore possible coal if the windmill sponsered by the humanitarian foundation was not there. It makes me wonder - is the windnmill in tvind the only one in Denmark? I have seen plenty, maybee I'am just halusinating.
And for the record: producing electricity from windmills is very good bussniess in Denmark, and a fast growing industry in Denmark. If the windmill in Tvind is not effective i wounder why the humanitarian foundation sponsered it - maybe because it is an important symbol for the organisation, that is considered more important then the lifes of others.

admitted might be the wrong word since it is not good business, I've not said is a better phrase, excuse me but English is not my mother toungue....
I've not admitted the windmill as being good business, I've said that the windmill is as effeciant more or less as other windmills and that it safes the enviroment thanks to the fact that it produces energy to Tvind school center, if the windmill not would've been there, the energy had to be bought from somewhere else, possibly oil or coal produced energy.
Tvind has never accused you or your family for using drugs, I remember an example used to trying to simplify an explanation a couple of posts back, a fictive example. Paranoid? I don't understand how you can come to the conclusion that Tvind doesn't take a fullhearted interest in humanitarian work based on that.
A. Cafarelli Minnesota,
I'm curious to know who the the person you are referring to. I also was at IICD and I have a guess (or actually hope) of who it might be since I liked them. If you don't want to post it here you can email me at baerman2001@hotmail.com
Thanks...

Reply from Frosig Nowbody knows me real identiti, so the drug related accusations brought agianst me proves an important point: It is hard to belive that Tvind takes a fullhearted interest in humanitarian work.
Yes, I know www.fonden. org and has read the letter from chairman "Morten Knudsens", teknologisk institut. He writes that from the information given to him by Tvind it seems like good projects, but he also writes that the information has not been verifyed - meaning that he didn't investigate the projects himself, but had to relly on tvind sources. So his letter dosn't prove anything.
I find it very intresting, that you admit, that the windmill is good buisness, and paid for by the foundation.

How interesting to come upon this site. A few years ago, I moved to the almost commune, and definitely cult-like atmosphere of IICD in Williamstown, Massachusetts. One night, one of the members of the "teacher's Group" who was obviously pissed at the directorfilled us in on Tvind and Humana, and admitted to us all that he had to hand over all of his assets before becoming a teacher. He was told that, someday he'd be able to retire in the Cayman Islands- worry free! My fellow "team members" and I thought, "What kind of development organisation is this"? We all started asking questions of the director- then Josefin Jonnsen. What a croc! After realizing that IICD was in fact a cult, most of us left. Unfortunately, 7 out of 12 of us left IICD AFTER fundraising all of our money to go to either Angola or Zimbabwe.

Interesting collection of artikles in Danish http://www.torshammer.dk/enmandsavisen/
hi there....just surfed in. Check out the Amdi Petersens Arm 7" when you get the chance. fast danish punkrock order from kicknpunch@wildmail.com
The fundraising was done for project at schools in the US. My complaint is exactly that there were no other jobs besides fundraising. I was told before that Fund-raising would happen but no one said that they would only do canvassing. The issue is not about efficiency, its about misleading people about what the fund-rasing is for.
Feel free to address my points 3 and 4 as well.
canvassing is also the most effeciant way of fundraising, and if it's done effective you don't have to use extra time on fundraising.

(4) The instruction that we were offered had nothing to do with what we planning to go do. It was also very disorgniized. when we asked for more help or time to study we were told that we couldn't becuase we had to meet the otehr priorities like fund-raising.
Is that enough?
I believe that Denmark is the country in the world that have most of its energy produced by wind energy.
It was not like that in the 70-tiew when the "worlds biggest windmill" at Tvind were built
The windmill is as effeciant as other windmills, not much more and not much less.
This discussions starts to be useless, I say somehing, you attack it, I defend etc... shall we try change the conversation topic to something that really matters, the saving of life through development projects?
Since you in many replys are talking about saving lifes etc...
Do you think our projects are bad? I don't say we're foolproof, noone is, but I'd say that in total, we've done much much more good than bad.
If you prefer talking about the windmill, sure, we continue with that instead and I can go and get some more facts about it, so the discussion can be good.

Hello Anyone
After reading a few entry's in this guest book,and feeling like it's a conversation among family members and not really for the first timer's who really want to find out about Tvind ,and must at this time be quite confused. I'll be happy to tell the (virtually) unbiast story of My (almost 3 years) experience ,in three continents with Humana,Tvind,Dapp and Uff. The good , bad ,right and wrong , wonderfull opportunities and awfull reality of this unusual organisation or lack of organisition as I like to call it and give contact details of some 40 other individuals I met along the way.

You write that the electricity to the schools in Tvind, should have been produced from oil ore possible coal if the windmill sponsered by the humanitarian foundation was not there. It makes me wonder - is the windnmill in tvind the only one in Denmark? I have seen plenty, maybee I'am just halusinating.
And for the record: producing electricity from windmills is very good bussniess in Denmark, and a fast growing industry in Denmark. If the windmill in Tvind is not effective i wounder why the humanitarian foundation sponsered it - maybe because it is an important symbol for the organisation, that is considered more important then the lifes of others.

admitted might be the wrong word since it is not good business, I've not said is a better phrase, excuse me but English is not my mother toungue....
I've not admitted the windmill as being good business, I've said that the windmill is as effeciant more or less as other windmills and that it safes the enviroment thanks to the fact that it produces energy to Tvind school center, if the windmill not would've been there, the energy had to be bought from somewhere else, possibly oil or coal produced energy.
Tvind has never accused you or your family for using drugs, I remember an example used to trying to simplify an explanation a couple of posts back, a fictive example. Paranoid? I don't understand how you can come to the conclusion that Tvind doesn't take a fullhearted interest in humanitarian work based on that.
A. Cafarelli Minnesota,
I'm curious to know who the the person you are referring to. I also was at IICD and I have a guess (or actually hope) of who it might be since I liked them. If you don't want to post it here you can email me at baerman2001@hotmail.com
Thanks...

Reply from Frosig Nowbody knows me real identiti, so the drug related accusations brought agianst me proves an important point: It is hard to belive that Tvind takes a fullhearted interest in humanitarian work.
Yes, I know www.fonden. org and has read the letter from chairman "Morten Knudsens", teknologisk institut. He writes that from the information given to him by Tvind it seems like good projects, but he also writes that the information has not been verifyed - meaning that he didn't investigate the projects himself, but had to relly on tvind sources. So his letter dosn't prove anything.
I find it very intresting, that you admit, that the windmill is good buisness, and paid for by the foundation.

How interesting to come upon this site. A few years ago, I moved to the almost commune, and definitely cult-like atmosphere of IICD in Williamstown, Massachusetts. One night, one of the members of the "teacher's Group" who was obviously pissed at the directorfilled us in on Tvind and Humana, and admitted to us all that he had to hand over all of his assets before becoming a teacher. He was told that, someday he'd be able to retire in the Cayman Islands- worry free! My fellow "team members" and I thought, "What kind of development organisation is this"? We all started asking questions of the director- then Josefin Jonnsen. What a croc! After realizing that IICD was in fact a cult, most of us left. Unfortunately, 7 out of 12 of us left IICD AFTER fundraising all of our money to go to either Angola or Zimbabwe.

(2) We were told that the money that was being raised would go 100 percent to our project and then we found out that the school was taking 50 percent or some percentage. thye never actauly told us how mcuh.

I don't know if the person was ignorant or hiding things. When I asked for more details I was told that it was "secret" because "outsiders" were looking for ways to make trouble.
