not necessarily true,as you underestimate the ability for certain people to 
negatively spin relatively innocent events ... we've witnessed that on this

yes, these sorts of events are very sad indeed =( i'm not excusing poorly run 
or corrupt charities, but rather showing that just because a charity doesn't 
publish their books doesn't automatically mean they are corrupt, which is an 
intimation that gets made often enough. and that's probably due at least in 
part to the fact that there _are_ many corrupt charities around the world. =/

i'm not overly familiar with the German Krebs fund... could you describe this
