Maja has had several surgeries and now she has to be home schooled for a while, since she is not allowed to go back to school just yet. Her wish from the Wonderlamp Foundation was to get a notebook so that she can keep in touch with her classmates via the Internet and get her schoolwork done.

Children’s Day was around the corner and a TV presenter invited us to her show where we handed over Maja’s present live on air. She was a little shy in the limelight but once she caught sight of her new netbook there was nothing else she could think about – she could hardly wait to hold it and to get online!

Maja, you are a very brave girl – we wish you all the best and we hope you will use your netbook to learn and play a lot!




Thanks to Mariann Tuba, editor at Hír TV and the whole crew
for their invitation and giving Maja this unforgettable experience.

The Csodalámpa Foundation fulfilled the 1500th wish in the spring of 2011.

We have changed this young girl into a fashonable girl with the help of a professional stylist. This was her wish and it was our 1500th wonder.

Kornélia - whose nickname is Nelly is - keen on the fashionable dresses but she is not sure of her taste yet.
She wanted to meet a stylist who could give her some usuful advice what how to wear. Mr. Robi Már accepted immadietely this task. We agreed with him to spend a whole afternoon with Nelly and they would speak only about fashion and dresses.

Nelly arrived from Sárvár with her parents in Budapest. It was very warm that day it could be about 35C... We sat at a table of a coffeehouse dowbtown with a glass of cold drink in our hands under a parasol speaking about fashion pleasantly and peacefully. Robi praised Nelly’s bonnet and her style. He promised to help Nelly how to pick together the different accesories. Nelly tried on different kinds of dresses through hours, for example an elegant dress to the school-leavers’ ball. She seemed to be very happy. I think we women get some "happiness hormones" when we buy something... It proved true with Nelly, too.

We thank Mr. Robert Már for his help, for he devoted all his energies and time to Nelly that afternoon. It was very kind of him to make glad Nelly.

We say thanks to H&M Shop at Vörösmarty square to give us an opportunity to take phothos there during wish granting and sorry for our disturbing there the usual business life.

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.

Hajnalka wished to swim together with dolphins. By our knowledge the only place in Europe, where this can be done is in Nice. It took good deal of work and some time too to organise everything but with our friends and supporters we managed at last to realise Hajni's wish.

There is no direct flight to Nice, so we flew from Budapest to Paris where we had to change for an other plane to Nice.
We could stay in downtown Nice in the wonderful Hotel Le Meridien Nice - many thank for the Starwood Hotels!

Next day was the big day: we went to Marineland.
The park itself was amazing! We visited the polar bears,seals and whales, as well.

Hajnalka was keen on the dolphin show of course. The main attraction - the reason we came - began at 5 pm when Hajnalka could go to the pool in a special neopren cloth to the dolphins. She followed the caretakers' instructions. She made friends with the dolphins in a record time. She found soon a favourite dolphin whom she gave the name "Flipper". It even preferred swimming around Hajni instead of listening to it's trainers commands...

Hajnalka enjoyed a short swim in the sea next morning.
We went for a walk downtown on our last afternoon and we admired the beautiful Nice.
We said goodbye to Nice late in the evening and flew back to Paris, where our accommadation was in the pleasant Sheraton Paris Hotel.

We thank to the Le Meridien Hotel Nice and of course to Sheraton Paris Hotel for their support and hospitality which was given to Hajnalka during the trip.

Many thanks to MALÉV Hungarian Airlines and the kind members of MALÉV Duna Club for their support.

The Csodalámpa team's special thank goes to Mr. Adrian Gray, Director of Le Meridien Hotel, Budapest who helped us extensively in realising this extraordinary wish by arranging wonderful accomodations in Nice and Paris.

Thank you for the support:

Hajnalka hes just written to us

Petra who is called Kamilla in the reality is keen on Halász Judit and her songs. She was much exited all the week because she could go to Halász Judit’s concert and she could meet the singer personally.

We arrived a little bit earlier so we could watch the actress how she had a rehearsal on the stage. We could go a little bit later to her dressing room where Kamilla had an opportunity to chat to the actress. Kamilla had a present for her it was a drawing. The actress was very glad about it. They spoke about Kamilla’s hobby about free time about songs. She was asked about her favourite song, which was sung by Halázs Judit on the stage. We had taken some photos and left the dressing room.

We took place in the first row. The performance began within some minutes. The concert was great!!! The children sang the songs with the actress together they were given standing ovation to Halász Judit. They were very happy. Of course Kamilla was also very happy and I think it was a great experience in Kamilla’s life.




We thank to the leadership of Millenáris for everything,
Mr.Födő Sándor manager for his organisation of this meeting
and we are very grateful to Mrs Halász Judit who has fulfilled again the wish of an ill child.

Martin, his sibling and parents were invited to the event Chilren’s Day organized by the Pécs National Theatre together with the County Town Library. Due to his curiosity we tried to keep it a secret, but the child was very suspicious.

He arrived a little scared, but showing curious openness at the same time. Thanks to our Foundation two balloon clowns (representing Happy Balloons Ltd. ) also participated in the event and were the first to give Martin a present; in a circle of children, Martin got a balloon guitar.
The opening ceremony started following this and Martin was called on stage.

The moment has come, and as a representative of the Wonderlamp Foundation I had the opportunity to give Martin his much awaited gift: a remote control car, the kind adults would love to play with as well.
The little boy was very touched, but his face reflected joy and happiness.

In the meantime he was given two tickets for that evening’s performance Snow White by the director of the theatre.

With happy satisfaction we went to have lunch on the terrace of a nearby restaurant. We had a good time, Martin enjoyed talking, and he could hardly wait to get home and try his present, because the next day he had to return to the hospital for his last chemotherapy treatment. The next time we saw each other he was excited to tell us about his “wonder car”. Perhaps it is carefree play which lets one forget about the pain and suffering caused by the illness and treatment the best.



We wish to thank the Pécs National Theatre, not only for the fairy tale afternoons, but also for inviting the Wonderlamp Foundation to their Children’s Day event, strengthening our ties, where we got an opportunity to celebrate and fulfil Martin’s dream, as well as letting former “wonderlamp” kids participate in the afternoon show.

It was real magic when Lili’s wish came true!

Lili, a four-year-old girl living in Kerekegyháza, asked for a plastic playground so she could cook in her ‘own house’. After receiving the present, Lili immediately invited us into her small house to eat some cookies. We happily accepted the sweets and made friends with the young hostess.

We wish Lili good health and strength to her family so she could invite lots of friends into her small house in the future.
Many thanks to the Holocsy family, dr. Horváthy Kovács Anikó and dr. Horváthy Dénes Balázs for their support!

Krisztina is a big fan of the hungarian soap opera ’Jóban- Rosszban’ so her wish was to take part on a shooting with her favourite actor Károly Gesztesi. To orginise this took quite long, but it was not the first time that the cast helped the foundation to make a wish come true. Krisztina was really excited. At the beginning we met the hair dressers,make-up artists and stylsts. When the actor arrived he greeted Kriszti as an old friend and invited the girl to his changing room where they could talk and he offered a sandwich to her. Krisztina gave him a painting in return.
The shooting started in the bar called ’Macsek’. Krisztina was peacefully watching until the director asked her to come in the bar,sit down and ask for the menu- just like an actress She played like she waited for this oppurtunity her entire life. After this she could also have some autographs from the actors and actresses.

We would like to thank Barbara Ujvári for organising this, Károly Gesztesi to help Krisztina’s wish come true and for the whole cast for being patient when we took several photos of Krisztina’s acting.

Viki has always loved horses.
Her mother told us that Viki has been drawing horses since the age of two, so she obviously asked for a horse now. Viki was dreaming about a pony she could play with, look after, feed and water and might be her friend for many years.

After discussing the circumstances of keeping a horse with Viki’s parents, we started to think about a way of finding a horse for Viki.

Fortunately Miklós Szabó, our kind supporter called us when he saw Viki’s wish on our website to tell us that his horse Bendegúz would be ideal for Viki.

Bendegúz is a wonderful black pony with a white star on his forehead.
He is very friendly, especially with children, so I immediately knew that we have found the best horse for Viki.

To make Viki even happier, she received her present on Children’s Day. How did they like each other? The photos and Viki’s letter might give you the answer:

After receiving Viki’s letter I talked to her on the phone and she invited us for a horse riding.
We really hope that we can visit them this year!

Many thanks to Szabó és Sáli Pónilovas Iskola

Luca is a chatty and vivacious little girl. When she heard that she could ask for something from the genie of Csodalámpa, she didn’t think twice as she became very fond of Bobó.

When she spent time in Hotel Kolping in Alsópáhok, she became enthralled by this cartoon character that is “alive” and walks among the guests to the great amusement of the children. Luca wished to return to this place, and this wish was soon realized thanks to the hotel.

On the 12th of May, when the hotel celebrated its 15th anniversary, the girl and her family were greeted ceremoniously, and Luca was greeted by Bobó specially.

We hope that the memory of the following days full of relaxing, playing, and enjoyment will stay with her forever.
We would like to thank the support of the Hotel Kolping, this was the third time they made a dream come true to one of our children!
We would also like to thank the Linde Gáz Zrt. for providing Luca with the necessary medical equipment on the spot.

The long-awaited day arrived on May 2nd 2011 when we set out for Kaposvár to fulfil Réka’s wish. She had been longing for a bunk bed with a slide which we wanted to hand over on her 4th birthday. The employees of KIKA assembled the „present” on time and one of them, Andrea, even joined us on our trip to Kaposvár.

The fitters were working fast and in a workmanlike manner so Réka didn’t have to play too long on the playground. When she entered her room the surprise was in its place, moreover there was a birthday cake for her with 4 lit candles. Réka is an extremely talkative little girl but this time it took her several minutes before she could speak.
It was great being there sharing her happiness.

When two hours later we left, we felt we became richer thanks for everybody who had helped in making Réka’s birthday unforgettable.




Special thanks for the workers of KIKA for their support.

Krisztián is a 5 year old boy who loves the "military" games, so he asked for the biggest possible remote control jeep, then he added after some thought, that he would prefer a PSP. On January 17th, I arrived toTűzoltó utcai Clinic with the toy, and made the little boy very pleased.
Chris started using the machine with an "expertise" defying his age, with happy smile on his face expressing thanks for this gift.

Big “Thank you” goes to Éva Szabadics, our private supporter for offering it!

Iza is 6 years old, she is under a medical treatment in Miskolc. She is going to have hard days because she will have a serious medical treatment.
Because of her disease and her situation she was waiting for meeting the famous singer, Mr. L. L. Junior for a long time.
And the day came which on the miracle happened. Iza has known that she has to go to the Ronald House to look at the room in which her mother will stay during the time while she will be in the steril-box. Employees of the hospital, her parents and the other children were very excited. They hoped that the meeting with the famous singer will happen well. Everybody has known what kind of meeting does Iza go to, it was a secret only for her.
It was needed to wait for Mr. L. L. Junior because his car has broken down on the motorway.
We have already tried all the games, played with all of them which was in the Ronald House and the time has come when we have heard the doorbell ring. Our guest has arrived with his band-mates. We had a heartening sight when Iza saw Mr. L. L. Junior. She was running downstairs and put her arm around the singer.
I think that was the moment when no eyes have stayed dry. Junior, the musicians, Iza and her mother, her godmother, representatives of media, the landlady of the Ronald house and we from the Csodalámpa Foundation, all of us were similing at each other with bright eyes and we were all thinking on the same thing. Iza and Junior were embracing each other for a few minutes then the singer was singing to the little girl. They were talking a lot and they played and the time duration which was one and a half an hour is gone soon. For this meeting for Iza and for all of us will be remarkable for very long time and we will talk about it many times again and again.
Mr. L. L. Junior – the singer – said that Iza is the bravest girl he has ever met and he is a fan of her, he hopes that Iza will recover from her desease soon. Besides the CD which he brough for present to the little girl, the singer draw many sweethearts onto a dedicated poster and asked the little girl for being strong and ingenious as many times the number of the sweethearts on the poster.

Dear Little Iza,
We are confident, that this meeting will stay remarkable for you for a long time. We wish you that Junior’s songs give you the strength to a heroic bear of the upcoming hard days.

Bence is a 13 year old boy who similarly to his peers has an always burning telephone line. Although unfortunately an accident occured, Bence put his brothers mobile phone in the washing machine, and so he justly gave his own to him.
This way Bence was left without a phone, although he sincerely wished to keep in touch with his friends and family threw-out the long medical treatments,then came the Wonderlamp's ginnie. We visited Bence at the hospital room with Istvan Toth the representative of the supporter company.
When we entered his room with the mobile phone in our hands the boys face lit up with happiness. I can proudly say on Istan Toth's and my behalf we will never forget the joy we saw on the little boys face.

Thank you for the support of the!

Ágnes loves taking photos, no wonder she faced the genie of the Wonderlamp with a wish for a professional camera.
The young lady didn’t have to wait long for the wished machine only till her wish reached a group of young genie students, namely the students of the Eötvös József Gimnázium and their friends who felt they would gladly contribute to the fulfilment of this wish. It was on a beautiful sunny November day that we met in the hospital yard to make this Monday memorable for all of us , especially for Ágnes.
Ágnes approached with a smile and the young wich fulfillers just as old friends started chatting with her and quickly came to the point of their visit. Behind the mask of indifference we could only suspect Ágnes’ smile when her visitors handed over the parcel containing her long wished present and some small surprises including the card signed by all who helped fulfill her wish.
Ágnes took the camera out of its box like an expert and we could all admire the machine. We also learned that she had started a photo course so we sincerely hope to see some of her first shots on an exhibit soon.


We hope Ági will enjoy taking photos with her new camera.

Many thanks to the students of class 12F of Eötvös József Gumnázium and their friends who contributed to Ágnes’ joy.

Zoli was anxious to meet “Greedy Underarm Glands”, a popular Hungarian band mocking other bands (and everything else too). We were able to set the date for Zoli’s birthday.
On that very day, the first snow also set in but could not discourage us since we were up for two major events. Zoli’s parents planned the meeting as a surprise-party. Everyone arrived safe and sound at the venue, to the studio of “Greedy Underarm Glands”. Zoli was not suspecting anything, even when they stood at the front door. But when he heard the music and spotted the boys…

A long-awaited encounter came true. It was just the day before when he mentioned to his mother that his wish might just have sunk into oblivion.
All-in-all, there was great joy and Zoli was congratulated on his birthday. He sang and danced with the boys, a great deal of photos were shot and Zoli collected all the signatures.

Afterwards we celebrated this special birthday event in a pastry shop. Zoli kept saying: "This has been the happiest day of my life".

We would like to thank the members of the band for their kindness!


Special thank is due to Peter Fodor, the manager of the band, who prior to an important concert and in the middle of a dense program created the opportunity to Zoli for the meeting.

Gábor had a very special wish. It was a bed like a dino. He planned and drew it with his parents’ help. Seeing the drawings we were thinking for quite a long time how we can grant this wish.
We succeeded to arrange this present with his parents’ help and with a lof of enquieries. Of course there were some problems, as well for example: we had to wait for the decoration of the bed or for the mattress. During the making of the bed the kid had to undergo a serious treatment...

The dino-bed was delivered one day earlier as expected and it had to be hidden from the Gabor. He was not allowed to enter the room but he felt so that he must enter the room besause there is a secret in it. When he recognised the bed he put his dinomask on the bed and said: "The dino-bed is perfect."

The official present giving took place next day. When we appeared there some members of the family were there. They also wanted to take part in Gábor’s happiness.
The representative of the company, which financed the wish, was also present of course. Gábor made friendship with him. When the door of his room was opened Gábor run to the bed and he seemed to be blissfully happy.
While we were taking some photos he was assuming different poses. He received an extra dino game, as well. Gábor was chatting and smiling and playing in the grown-up company. He had a nice time and we were also glad to share his joy.

We wish Gábor a fast recovery and hope he can sleep very peacefully in comfort of his dino-bed.
