What price idealism?
Article Abstract:
The College for International Cooperation and Development, near Hull, England, is backed by Tvind. Tvind is suspected of being a cult which recruits its members from British universities. The Tvind project was started by Danish Teacher Mogens Amdi Peterson as an alternative school system. The project has expanded into the rest of Europe, the US and Africa. It has several charitable projects in Africa but is also known to be very secretive. It is suggested Tvind has assets worth 30 million pounds sterling yet members are expected to beg and carry out domestic work.
