Bettina's dream was a colourful and girlish bicycle. She told us that she would like a pink bicycle with a pink basket, and we were pleased to grant her wish.
She is so happy with her gift, and since she got it, she has ridden her pink bike wherever she can.

Bettina, enjoy your bike!

We would like to thank the recurring support of the students, and teachers of The American International School of Budapest.

Marcell was looking forward to our arrival very much. He was stationed by the window all day, looking out expectantly.

His joy became even more exuberant when he received his new laptop. He quickly unpacked it and turned it on.
A few minutes later, he was already listening to his favourite music. He just kept smiling and smiling and thanking us.
He was completely immersed in listening to and exploring new music.

He created a warm, intimate mood with his selection of Xmas music. We got in a festive spirit too, because we saw that we found a good home for the laptop.

We succeeded again in putting a smile on a sick child's face.

We want to thank the management and the staff of Budapest Marriott Hotel for making Marcellʼs wish come true.

Mate is a quiet young man, who loves playing with remote-controlled toys. He also enjoys building LEGO sets. So, he combined his two passions when he made a wish to Magic Lamp: He wanted a phone app-controlled LEGO bulldozer. He knew that it was a big challenge, and the assembly would require enormous patience, but his wish was serious and thoughtful.

Lately he had been listless, showing no interest in playing or studying. But then suddenly came the message: his wish arrived at the Magic Lamp office.

I could not hide the package when I went to the hospital to see Mate. It was so huge that I needed help to carry it in. But Mate did not realize that the big box was his when he saw it in my hands. When I said casually that his eagerly awaited LEGO had arrived, his eyes started to sparkle.

“Is it really mine?”, he asked. He quickly sat up in his bed and made room for the gigantic box.
“Thank you!”, he kept repeating.

He asked me to visit him every day this week to see his progress with the assembly.

We want to thank the management and the staff of Budapest Marriott Hotel for making Mate’s wish come true!

Martin has started to work on his career. He is studying to be a cook and he has already assisted chefs in a restaurant. We were lucky to see his talent by tasting some of the cakes he had made, for which we thank him very much.

In his spare time he doesn't just bake and cook, he also likes to play computer games. So he asked the Magic Lamp Foundation for a video card.

We wish Martin a speedy recovery and good luck in his studies as well as in the kitchen!

We would like to thank the teachers and students of The American International School of Budapest for their unwavering support and also our pivate sponsors for their generous help.

Elina's dream was a tablet to play games and watch fairy tales and cartoons, either at home or in hospital.

She was very happy to get her present. Now, her favourite fairytale characters can be taken with her wherever she goes.

Many thanks for the support of the students of The British International School Budapest.

Marcell can not sit in a regular swing due to his illness, so he asked for a nest swing.

I visited the little boy and after a while we became friends. I put the swing up, he was very interested in it and immediately asked his mum to place him in the swing. He said very sweetly "thank you for the swing" and smiled at me. He really enjoyed it and we hope this joy will last for a long time and give him the strength to overcome the difficulties. Once again we have managed to put a big smile on the face of a sick child!

The 9-year-old Zsuzsika (Suzy) who lives in Tiszabura is treated at the Debrecen University Clinic. As she is studying according to an individual program, she asked the Magic Lamp for a laptop to help her in her studies.

We visited Zsuzsika at her home, where we gave her the gift from the Magic Lamp Foundation.

The little girl was waiting for us wearing a beautiful white dress.

She was excited and happy when she opened the big box containing the silver laptop.

The new laptop was immediately activated by her siblings. They downloaded games and movies from the Internet and called one of Zsuzsi's little friends on Messenger to tell her how happy she was to get the laptop she had been longing for.

Lili is a charming little girl, brimming with life. She loves unicorns. Thus nobody got surprised when she wished for a "huge" talking plush unicorn.

Of course, the big box was also hiding several other surprises: A storybook about unicorns, a stamp set, and several creative games. And because Lili is going to start first grade soon, she also received a unicorn alarm clock and a pencil case.

She opened everything with great enthusiasm, while kept asking: "Is this really all mine??"

The plush unicorn quickly became Lili's favourite and she would not part with it for the world anymore:)

Gábor contacted our foundation with an unusual request. He said he knew that children usually ask for other types of presents, but due to the fact that he and his family live in a very poor region, he would really like to be given a shower cabin where he can take a shower comfortably.

Certainly the Magic Lamp Foundation granted this rather special wish, bringing joy to a sick child living in difficult circumstances.

Many thanks for the repeated support of Henkel Magyarország Kft.

Boglárka used to go to kindergarten until she became ill and was hospitalised.

She missed her brothers, her dad and her little friends from the kindergarten very much. So, she asked the Magic Lamp to find a way to bring somehow all the people she loves to the hospital...

The Genie of the Magic Lamp fulfilled her wish by giving a tablet to Boglárka as a means to contact her loved ones from home.

It was so touching to see the joy on her face when she saw her brothers and father, and then her kindergarten teachers and classmates on the screen of the tablet.
The little friends said they were looking forward to seeing her back at kindergarten and wished her a speedy recovery!

We would like to thank the support of the students, their parents and the teachers of the American International School of Budapest.

Tamara is a smiling, energetic, lively little girl.

We met Tamara in the afternoon at the hospital after her treatment. Her excitement and joy were overwhelming when she saw her present in the red bag.

She asked for a laptop from the Magic Lamp because she can return to the school from September, but only for a few days a week. With this laptop, she can continue her education online during the rest of her school sessions.

Many thanks for the generous support of Henkel Magyarország Kft.

Due to the long treatment in hospital, we could meet Nóri and her family on a late afternoon in August. The parents told us that Nóri had been longing for a playground of her own. Nóri's joy was overwhelming when she finally got it. She was excited to help the parents to put it together. We were told that Nóri is glad to use her own playground every day when she can be at home and not in the hospital.

I was touched by the story of this little girl and her family. I am glad that I could be that volunteer who had the opportunity to meet the family and Nóri, thanks to the sponsor and the foundation.

The family is very grateful for the wish fulfillment because now they can see their little girl to be really happy!

Many thanks for the generous support of Henkel Magyarország Kft.

Liliána - due to her illness - had to continue her studies as a private student. She could only borrow an old, heavy laptop but she wished to have a modern, new one on her own.

We visited the girl and gave her the present from the Csodalámpa Foundation. She was very glad to receive her brand new laptop that she can take with her wherever she goes. She can use this laptop for studying, watching movies as well as chatting with friends.

We wish you a pleasant time and hope the laptop will contribute to a successful exam next year!

Áron - like all teenagers - loves sports. Unfortunately, now he doesn't have the opportunity to play outdoor sports, so he asked for a gym machine to do strengthening exercises and to keep him fit.

Áron is very happy that his wish has been fulfilled in such a short time.

Many thanks for the repeated support of Henkel Magyarország Kft.

Boglárka loves to swing, so we made her very happy with this lovely hammock chair, in which she can comfortably swing and relax. In good weather she can swing outside in the fresh air, but in bad weather she can also use it indoors.

Many thanks to Henkel Hungary Ltd. for their recurring support!
