20thJune

I talked to her mum the previous day and asked her to keep the secret: Monday Vivien's wish will come true. I knew this won't be easy to her...

Viven woke up a few minutes before our arrival, she blinked almost half-asleep on the two strangers who entered her ward with a big brown box.
The other "stranger" was Mr. Ben O'Brian, teacher of the American International School of Budapest, or AISB .

The present for Vivien, the brand new laptop computer has come from the AISB art students and teachers.

:Each year, the Art students organise an exhibition, where a few of the best works are sold for charity. This year all the students voted Csodalámpa as the beneficiary of the art auction.

While we were telling Vivien who we are, why are we here and Ben explained in perfect Hungarian about the AISB and art fair Vivien started to smile.
I suggested to open the box at last.

In the middle of struggling with the package I have seen her smiling doctors peeping in through the door... Yes, they deserve to be part of these small wonders...

Seeing and touching the notebook Viven's smile became even brighter: it is so pretty and it is HER's!
She started to plan immediately how she should use it for watching films, browsing the net...

This day proved te be very exceptional not only for Vivien and her Mother. Ben and me, we were also really moved by their intense joy.

We would like to thank in the name of Vivien the students and professors of American International School of Budapest for this wonderful present .

We wish Vivien a fast recovery in their name too.
