Erik is 16 years old and he is suffering from muscular dystrophy. His wish was a real laptop. He needed it partly to facilitate his studies, and partly to open a window to the world with the help of the Internet.

Erik's wish was one of those we could fulfill thanks to the support of the pupils and teachers of The American International School of Budapest.

Unfortunately, Erik's sister, Ivett is also ill. Ivett's wish was a sighstseeing tour in London, which we had been able to fulfill just a few weeks earlier. We were a bit worried after the trip that Erik would be sad, thinking that we had forgotten about him.

Erik was with us together with his parents and siblings at the last general assembly of the academic year at AISB, on 4th June. After some maneauvering he managed to park his wheelchair right in front of the stage. From there he watched the children dance and listened to their music with twinkling eyes.

Suddenly they started to talk about the Wonderlamp Foundation. Lots of children were running to the stage who had been working with us on this wish from the start by organising a "sponsored walk". Then the major part of the audience also stood up and joined them, those who had been 'walked for us', thus raising funds for the laptop.

All of a sudden Erik heard his own name and a big box was put on his lap by two girl pupils from the upper classes. In his surprise he fell short of words...

We hope that, by favour of the pupils, we could give many happy hours to Erik and his family.

Many thanks to the children of the AISB, their parents, and their teachers for helping us do another wonder.
