Information leaflet from Scandinavian Movement Against Tvind

WARNING! THIS IS THE TVIND SECT AND "THE BENEVOLENT ORGANISATIONS OF UFF AND HUMANA"

The Scandinavian organizations of [people who have left Tvind] are warning against the enterprises of UFF (Development Aid from People to People - DAPP) and HUMANA. Their containers placed out to collect used clothes can now be seen in the streets of most major cities in Western Europe. The profits from this activity is said to benefit the peoples in the Third World. But this aid is very limited, and only serving as a cover for a world wide business enterprise arranged by the Tvind sect.

The Tvind sect is a totalitarian sect with its roots in Denmark, causing tragedies where ever it shows up.

The following claims can be documented by our organisations;

  1.  In Belize in Central America Tvind/UFF/HUMANA have five big plantations which they direct in a commercial and colonial style. The Tvind-leaders, among them a Soeren Soerensen run the plantations with underpaid workers from Honduras and Guatemala.
  2. Tvind/UFF/HUMANA have established companies and bought real estate in the tax paradise island of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.   Among these companies are Tropical Farming, Distributors and Merchandisers International and B.& B. Shipping.    As an example of real estate bought by Tvind. is a luxury villa in Bodden Town for around 60 million US$ (4.1. million DKR) and a rather large landed estate called High Rock. Grand Cayman has a GNP higher than most of the Western European countries and Third World aid is definitely not needed there.
  3. Of the clothes people put in the HUMANA boxes, large quantities are sold to Poland with huge profits. So these clothes are not sent to Africa, in the way people think.
  4. The clothes that are sent to Africa are sold to the Africans. The profits is returned to Tvind/UFF/HUMANA and used for, other things, acquiring of real estate. UFF activities create problems for the clothing industries of Zambia and Zimbabwe, as the local industries cannot compete with the price and style of the UFF-clothes.
  5. Tvind/UFF/HUMANA has sued the poor Caribbean island state of St Vincent of 14 million US$ (95 mill DKR). The proceedings were taken after the island state expropriated the plantation of Orange Hill which Tvind/UFF/HUMANA had bought through the use of "men of straw" for 4 million US$ (25 million DKR). Prime minister John Mitchell pronounced that he did not want a new "Jonestown" at St. Vincent.
  6. UFF/HUMANA often claim that their organisations are not linked to the Tvind Empire. Still the Dane Poul Jorgensen is the chairman of UFF. In addition to that he is Tvind’s spokesman, leader of Tvind's "teacher training school" called "The Necessary Teacher Training College" and chairman of the real estate companies "Faelleseje" and "Estate". It is through Estate Tvind has established companies in USA, Belize and Grand Cayman.
