This day started as usual for Sára as in the past months: she and her mother left for a regular check-up examination in the morning, from Drégyelypalánk to the Tűzoltó Street. Luckily, the little girl started to recover, but she had to/has to fight with a serious disease, which seriously concerned the whole family. Their most important wish is her full recovery now, of course. But the girl had another wish: she would have liked a smartphone. A phone that makes her world a bit larger: that is able to run more than simple apps and games. A phone that makes it possible to broaden her knowledge with lots of useful information. Because Sára is very curious: she is full of desire for knowledge. She has excellent marks despite her illness.

A collective of workers of an IT company decided to fulfill Sára’s wish: they decided to surprise her with the desired smartphone.

Sára was very happy with the gift. She opened the package right away and she started the phone with the help of her brother. They will be able to use it only later, when the required SIM card is inserted, but she happily started to get to know the new phone. Her mother was touched by her joy; and they thanked this possibility that would certainly help Sára’s healing.

The representatives of the company wished her to get well soon. They got richer with two kisses and they said goodbye to the family with the sight of the happy face of Sára.


Thank you for the help of our private supporters.

Lili, who was living in Csomád, wished for a pool in the garden. The gift had arrived to their home, and we have visited them along with the supporters. Lili and her mother eagerly waited our arrival and Lili even made gifts for the supporting family!

Julcsi - the daughter of the supporters - started playing with Lili in her room immediatly, meanwhile we listened to Lili’s life story, told by her mother. After the long talk, we were guided though the garden and we were told about the tools and methods how they manage the household. We got to know that Lili values the quality of air, food and water, as we were given insight into these topics.

Lili was very happy and we were happy for her joy.


We would like to thank Ildikó Fehér and Tibor Jenes, our dear supporters’ donations and Ottó Balogh – the sole hungarian participant in the Alaskan Iditarod sled-dog race – for making possible to have Lili’s dreams fulfilled!

When we first talked about Magiclamp (Csodalámpa), Flora suprisedly asked me:
- Can i have a wish too?

At our second meeting she was already very confident, she told me right off the bat she would like to have a pink princess-bed. One day a huge surprise awaited her when getting home from school. Along with her mother they could never have imagined to have her wish come true so quickly.

When she saw the bed and her favourite princesses on it she shouted out:
- Look Mom, Rapunzel is on it too!

I wish you lots of peaceful dreams among your favourite Princesses!


We are thankful for the help by our private supporter, Nora Venczel.

Sadly Bence has to spend a lot of time in hospital. He asked for a mobile phone, so he could keep in touch with his family and friends more easily. Like any young teenager he didn't want to be left out of the school gossip and his friends' often exaggerated but always entertaining stories.

When I knocked on door to the children's ward, I could see Bence through the window. He was lying on the bed looking a little gloomy, lost in his own thoughts. I greeted him. He looked at me and as I pulled out the surprise package I'm sure he guessed the lounging around was over. It was something just for him, and only he would open it and start it up. The phone was elegant and slim, with a large screen. Perhaps more than he could have dreamed of. The young boy was instantly enraptured. Within moments the phone was working. Bence was completely taken by the bright, rainbow of colours on the display, opening up each of the much needed applications.

I got ready to leave. I could see that for this little whiz-kid, flushed with happiness, the outside world had ceased to exist. Bencus had mastered the smartphone's every mystery, and gratefully held on to his dream come true.


Thanks to PannErgy Nyrt. for their support.

We fulfilled the wish of the three-year-old Balazs just before Easter - he wished for a playground.

He observed us curiously as we arrived. We could see that he fell in love with the blue slide at first sight. He was watching the construction of the playground impatiently, while he was crawling on the slide (that was laid on the ground) with joy. As soon as the assemblage had finished, he took possession of the swing and the slide. He was waving at us from the top of the slide, while smiling happily.

We wish Balazs many smiling slides for the future.

I thanked Mr. Virag that I could join his crew again, and with the construction we could officially fulfill the wish.


Thanks to S&T Consulting Hungary Kft. for the continued support.

Ann from Pásztó has medical treatment in Budapest. She wished for a nice playground in their garden where she could swing and slide with her little brother.

Her wish was fulfilled exactly on Children’s day. Their grandparents took Ann and her brother for an excursion so that the new playground would be a real surprise... So it was.

They were highly cheerful when the swings and the yellow slide attracted their eyes arriving home. Ann and her brother have tried all the equipment at once. The slide and the small house became Ann’s favorite while the swings became her brother’s.

Dear Ann,
We wish you great happiness playing on your Children’s day playground and a quick remedy from your malady.




Thanks for Cisco Systems Hungary Ltd. for their support.

We fulfilled the wish of Miriam of Zalaerdőd in the clinic in Bókay Street in Budapest. She requested a white laptop. In the photo, you can see how happy she was to get it!

Due to her illness, Miriam is a private student at present. She likes animals, especially horses, very much. She is also fond of weaving. She makes rubber bracelets. She comes to Budapest for treatment three times a week. One of the members of the supporting family, Lili, who is a horse therapist, offered Miriam and Miriam’s mother that if Miriam’s therapist permitted she would take them to Picinyke Póniudvar (’Yard of Tiny Ponies’) to see the horses living there. After it turned out that Miriam is taken to Budapest and back to Zala with an ambulance so that it would be complicated to organise this visit, Lili decided to bring the little pony Alfi to Miriam to the hospital yard on one occasion.

Miriam has already been shown Alfi, the pony although only in photos! But the little girl was so happy even about this!

We all returned home happily and full of positive emotions after fulfilling Miriam’s wish.




We should like to thank for the donations of Judit Löbl and her children, Dávid and Lili Szabó, our kind sponsors, and we should also like to thank Mr Ottó Balogh, who was the only Hungarian to take part in the Alaskan Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, for making it possible to make Miriam’s dream come true.

Peter has always been a football fan so there was no question what to desire when he joined the Csodalámpa (Magic Lamp) Foundation. He wanted to go to the Emirates Stadium in London with his father to participate in an Arsenal football match. I was the lucky one who was with them on this fantastic weekend. I was waiting for them at Luton Airport and we went to the hotel together.

We started the next day with a museum visit, then we discovered the old and the new Arsenal stadiums as well. Peter loves the culture of ancient times so we visited the British Museum where we spent amazing couple of hours at the Roman-Greek and Egyptian departments. On the last day we walked in the city and then we went to participate in the Arsenal-Everton match... We arrived there earlier in order to explore the stadium, we observed how the teams are warming up and how the huge stadium becoming filled with thousands of people.

We took part in a really exciting and fantastic football match, and we were delighted that Peter's favorite team, Arsenal won.

I’m sure that this weekend has given power and celebratory experience to Peter that will help him in the coming months.

We wish you a very nice summer and a lot of strength for your recovery!

Álmos wished to spend a few days together with his family in a very nice hotel. His dream came true in Sikonda at the splendid Hotel Ambient.

The „usual” daily program was to swim and bath, then to make excursions as the wheather was excellent for such activities. One day the family could even visit Pécs and go to the famous Zoo, too.

Álmos likes to play snooker; at the hotel he had the possibility to practise his knowledge.
The whole family had a great time during these few days vacation.
The family was were really thankful for the possibility of being together in such a nice place...

Many thanks for supporting Álmos' wish to our private sponsors, among them the students, teachers, and parents of the American International School of Budapest and also to the management of the Hotel Ambient for their kind help and hospitality.

Our Magic Lamp team, 12-year-old Kira, 10-year-old Robi, 11-year-old Zoli, and 17-year-old Gergő, met on the morning of May 12th 2017, at the airport. Our destination was Paris and then on to Euro Disney. Our intention, to discover the world of fairy tales.

The flight was already an exciting experience for those kids who were flying the first time . After landing in Paris, we got on the TGV, which,speeding along at up to 320 kms per hour, took us to Euro Disney in 10 minutes. We stayed at the Sequoia hotel. The hotel’s really nice ambiance, the warm welcome we received, and the great programs organized for the kids all put our little group into a very happy mood. Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and many other cartoon characters visited the hotel several times a day. This provided ample opportunities for the kids to have their photos taken with them. We rested a little after checking in, then set out to discover the park even though it was raining. The real exploration, however, only happened in the next couple of days, when the sunny weather was more conducive to outdoor activities. Adults and children were equally enchanted by the beauty and the spectacles of the park. The kids were having fun all day long in the world of magic and fairy tales, trying many different attractions. They rode on the miniature train, shot at aliens, drove a Cadillac, and got to know different cultures on the “ it's a small world“ ride. Robi’s favourite experience was when Darth Vader personally ordered him to faithfully serve the Empire. Kira of course, preferred the world of fairy tale princesses and the castle of Sleeping Beauty. The high point was the afternoon parade of Disney characters, where princes, princesses, fairies, pirates, and animal characters in marvelous costumes paraded down the road, riding in carriages, on dragons, pirate ships, singing and dancing. The evening was finished with spectacular fireworks. Next day we still had a chance to enjoy the park until 4 pm, because our flight to Budapest left late.

We returned home from the magical land of tales exhausted, but full of enchanting experiences.

David's dream was to see F C. Barcelona play a match in Camp Nou.

Our flight took off from Budapest on Tuesday early morning, so I met David and his father at the airport around 4.30 am. Since they had never flown before, they were very excited and happy to finally travel by plane.
We landed in Barcelona in beautiful sunny weather. We took the metro to our hotel, conveniently located just a corner away from Camp Nou.

Next day we decided to visit the futball museum and the stadium. We marveled at the different trophies, such as the golden soccer balls of Messi, and the different pictures and videos.
It was very heart warming to see the statue of our fellow Hungarian, László Kubala. Naturally we took several photos in front of it.

Camp Nou is the largest futball stadium in Europe. We had a chance to see the change rooms, the press room, and even the chapel on our stadium tour.
Of course we spent plenty of time in the gift shop at the end.

In the afternoon we did some sightseeing, then walked down to the beach to check out the sea, which was another first for David and his father.
The following day we visited awe-inspiring La Sagrada Familia. We had never seen anything like that before. It cannot be described with words, everybody must visit it once if possible. There is nothing like that in the whole world. The exhibition about the life of Gaudi, his work, and the construction of the church was very interesting and informative. It made us appreciate this marvelous piece of art and architecture even more.

Next day was the big day, the day of the Game, Barca against Osasuna. Because it only started at 19.30, we had the whole day for more sightseeing. We had great seats, quite close to the field, and luckily covered, as we found out when 20 minutes into the game it started raining. Before the start of the game a huge banner was lowered on the opposite side thanking Messi for the 500 goals that he had scored in the Champions League games. Then the eagerly awaited match started.
The first goal was scored within 20 minutes by Messi of course. Then the goals started coming in quick succession, with a 7 to 1 end result.
The game was spectacular all along. After the fifth goal we had a discussion about whether there would be one or two more. Well, it was two.
After the game we had a great dinner, then retired.

The following day we visited another landmark of Barcelona, the Güell Park.
Unfortunately it was a rainy day, but the park was still a fantastic experience. Sadly next day it was time to go home. After another early start, since our flight was delayed, we had plenty of time to browse in the shops at the airport.

After a pleasant flight David returned home as a happy, cheerful young man, full of exciting experiences.

Many thanks in the name of David to the British International School, the Personal Banker Network of Fundamenta-Lakáskassza Zrt. and our private supporters!

On a nice and sunny Tuesday afternoon, we appeared with an Olaf cake at Polli’s house. She was very happy, she did not even suspect that something was going on in her yard.

While Zoltán Mátrai and his colleague built the long-awaited surprise, Polli has entertained us. We played hide and seek, baked and cooked in her little play kitchen, we draw and we laughed a lot.

Polli's big wish was to have a playground with a sloping slide in their yard! We could fulfill her dream on her birthday.
When the playground was ready, we had the little girl out to the yard. She saw the playground from the terrace and she became speechless, she covered her mouth with her hands as she was so surprised that her wish came true!!!

We would like to say a special thank you to the leaders and members of XpatLoop, the largest Hungarian expat community for organizing the Budapest Bonfire Night Party for Charity and with the money raised at the event making Polli's wish come true.

The little girl Kira, who is under treatment at our clinic, asked for a guitar from the Magic Lamp Foundation.

Attila Szitkai, one of our sponsors saw this request on our wishing list and he felt he had to fulfill the little girl’s dream. Attila likes playing guitar but he learnt it by himself. Kira, however is very seriously interested in playing instruments, so she would like to have lessons by a teacher.

Attila contacted me and we discussed the type and size of the guitar. Finally we made an appointment at the clinic. He took not only the requested guitar but a tuner, picks and a guitar case as an extra surprise present.

Kira was just about to left for home from the treatment when we arrived, so it was a real surprise. Kira was smiling all the time and she was very, very pleased.

Attila held an improvised show of his guitar knowledge and he also showed how the tuner worked. After having a good time, filled with happiness and joy, we said goodbye to Kira and her mother.
Attila told me that he received power, energy and happiness from the little girl. He would like to give good example to his friends and to encourage them to fulfill the wishes of sick children.

Many thanks for the help of our private supporter, Attila Szitkai!

Lackó the 7 years old boy asked for a PS4 play station console. The gift was given in the hospital on Tuesday morning. As soon as the boy saw the large box, he already knew that his present had arrived from the Magic Lamp.

His eyes were shining and I was sure he was smiling under the mask. He quickly opened the box and was surprised because he also got a football game as an extra present. His father installed the game and Lackó could begin to play with it.

He could hardly wait to get home and play the new game with his young brother. Lackó, enjoy your present!

Many thanks for the re-support of PannErgy Nyrt.

When Fruzsi’s reguest arrived at the Magic Lamp Foundation, we thought it would be easy to find a kitten for her. However, it took some time, because firs of all a breeder, Xenia Schultz had to bring puppy Carlos up to become a cooperative, friendly cat.

One of our kind supporters, Szabina Sárecz - who is fond of cats – helped us to organise the first meeting with the kitten. Soon it turned out that Carlos didn’t afraid of the children, he could even tolerate playing with him by the kids – at least for a while. A few days later we met again and that time Fruzsi could take the kitten home. Fuzsi’s mother often informs us about Carlos, so we know that he is willing to sleep only at Fruzsi’s foot, he accepts food only from Fruzsi, and when the girl isn’t at home, he is waiting for her at the window. Fruzsi is very happy with the kitten, she is playing with him a lot.




Many thanks to the breeder, Xénia Schultz for her support. Fruzsi’s dream came true with her help.

I am doing a voluntary work at Magic Lamp Foundation for many-many years now.
Participating in wish fulfilling always comes with a big joy. It happened again on 01.07.2017 when we fulfilled Laura’s wish.

I have known her for quite a long time and I follow her healing procedure. She is a smart, curious girl and she is really willing to study. She asked for a laptop computer to be able to learn independently, surf on the Internet and play as well.

She was arriving for her weekly treatment and maybe she was upset a bit because she had to go there earlier than usual.
But when she saw the package in my hands she immediately started to smile. She had already knew the reason of the big rush. She was careful with unwrapping the laptop and she was continuously smiling.

We would like to thank the Corinthia Hotel Budapest and it’s generous guests the selfless support, which could lead us to fulfill this wish.

When we arrived to Laura’s home, the little girl was already waving at us from her window.

The kid’s room got a new cabinet which was brought by the Magic Lamp Foundation.

Laura’s parents had already packed into it her things and now Laura enjoys packing them out of it.
But as for her toys, she personally put them into the lower drawers: she likes to pack her toys in and out of those.
As Laura suffers also from reduced mobility, she really needed a stable cabinet that won’t fall on her by accident.

Thanks to our sponsors and volunteers we could make happy another child, and her family too.

We would like to thank Corinthia Hotel Budapest and its gracious guests for their generousity, attention and selfless help, that made this wish come true.
