Humana opens clothes boxes and a new company in Ljubljana

Humana has begun collecting clothes in Slovenia.   By September 2002 at least 35 boxes had been set up on civic land surrounding the capital, Ljubljana.   It has not been allowed to place boxes in the city itself because of concerns by public officials.

Tvind has set up a new company, Humana d.o.o. (address Spanova Pot 3, Llubljana 1000).  This company is principally run by two Danish directors, both almost certainly TG, who are main signatories.  One is a woman called Helle and the other is her husband or partner/boyfriend, who is also associated with Humana in the US.  They are both most likely in the Teachers Group.

The operation is run out of Humana Vienna, where the area manager is an Austrian, Katerina Feldman.    The collection manager is a Slovenian (salaried), returned from being a Development Instructor in Africa.
