3,642 Euro donation from Fischer Car Group to the Aspandem disabled home in San Pedro de Alcantara
Fischer Car Group has been financially supporting ASPANDEM the disabled home in San Pedro de Alcantara through donations for several years. And this time around Walter Fischer did not want to miss out on the opportunity on handing the check for 3642 € to those responsible of the disabled home personally. The donation money was collected during the Fischer Car Group and Royal Crown Motors Charity Golf Tournament in La Zagaleta. The visit took place in the afternoon so that the Vice President Angel Martinez Torreblanca a spontaneous tour suggested, in which Walter Fischer was shown several Departments.
“Our house is an open house,” said José Juan López Bolea, the general manager of ASPANDEM. And Maria Nieves Cabrera Pastor adds that the house always being open provides the supporters of the institution with the important transparency. Walter Fischer agrees, in fact he has taken the openness as an opportunity to give part of the donations he collect over the year at various events to ASPANDEM.
“The initiator that introduced me to ASPANDEM was Dietmar Knoch about 5 years ago. He pointed the facility out to us and recommended it as a very good organization. We gladly took the recommendation and since than we split our donations in proportion with ASPANDEM and, more recently, also with Brigitte Frey, who is involved in helping Kenyan farmers under the slogan “help to help one self” with her organization A Better World AG. We used to give our fund-raises only to one organization, but there was relatively little reference to the recipients of the funds. At ASPANDEM we are right in the middle of everything, we can see what happens with our donations. It is a joy to see what we can move, for example with our recent donations several air conditioners were bought. Something that is of very good use during this hot summer.”
Walter Fischer: “To me it is very important to know what each person and organization does with our donations”
With relative little money Brigitte Frey and her organization can help a huge amount of people in Africa
But for Walter Fischer the donation isn’t over after presenting the check. “To me it is very important to know what each person and organization does with our donations. Just like here in San Pedro, I can stop by and convince myself. With Brigitte Frey it is just as personal in Africa, she teaches the people in Kenya. There no funds flow directly to the people, but it is useful implemented. With relatively little money that allows planting of fields, gardens and building wells she can help a huge amount of people. She enables these people to help themselves. That, for me, is the right thing. I would not feel comfortable just sending the money without knowing if it is used efficiently.”

If he does not get the feeling that each donated Euro is used properly to help the needy then he would not do it, he says. That is in his nature and he feels obligated to those who have helped making the big check with their donationsAs personal as Fischer assists the disable and needy people a personal he is with each of his car customers trying to for fill every wish as best possible. That is thanked by the confidence of his many regularly coming customers who during the last 12 years did not become less but more and more – People who appreciate the very personal service from Fischer Car Group.
