Buchholz-fachinformationsdienst, shortly bfd, supports as a sponsor the international aid project “sailing4handicaps” of the Paralympic Champion Wojtek Czyz. The collaboration is designed for a period of 3 years.

As Wojtek Czyz, at the end of his sport career, brought to life together with his life partner Elena Brambilla “sailing4handicaps”, it was natural for bfd  to support Czyz also in this social action.

The initiative will give handicapped people the possibility to receve a supply of prosthetics and to open for them in this way new perspectives. The specialized crew will work on spot with amputees, build up prosthetics and show them how to apply and  kept these prosthetics in shape for future. On the sailing catamaran “Imagine” have been created all the necessary conditions to allow the crew to manufacture prostheses on board. The necessary funds are raised through donations and sponsorship.

“For us it was not a question to financially support sailing4handicaps”, asserts the company’s founder and current chairman of bfd, Dieter Buchholz.
