Gábor (9 years old, Hódmezővásárhely )

We have learnt about the wish of our small hero Gábor this autumn: he wished to get Star Wars LEGO.
His twin brother Péter and Gábor are real LEGO masters by their parents’ opinion. They like to build different LEGO-objects and they already have a lot of similar toys. When they begin to plan what to build and how, the world ceases to exist around them...

Gábor’s dream was realized with the help of the students of the American International School of Budapest.
All the students and teachers of the school were waiting for this day, not only because of Gábor’s wish but there was an extraordanary students’ meeting where the professors said thanks to the students who took part in the „Walk-The-Wish”.
We showed in a short presentation which wishes have been granted since the last „Walk The Wish”. With their help Virág has been to London, Zsolt has received a camera, Robert has got a PSP, Sandor has got a laptop.

We told Gábor that the students had wanted to meet him personally and they waited him with some present. He listened to their reports patiently, watched the film about the walk. The students and their teachers even composed and sung a special song for Gábor:


Walk the Wish for children.
Walk it now with me.
Walk the wish for children.
Walk it now with me.
If you walk the wish for children-
and treat them lovingly,
Then those children all will have a better day.

Take a step for children.
Take it now with me.
Take a step for children.
Take it now with me.
If you take a step for children-
and treat them lovingly,
Then those children all will have a better day.



After watching the film Gábor had to go to the stage and the wished toy was given him. He was so surprised that at first he could say nothing, but then he bowed to the chering crowd and just said "thank you".

The real surprise came some minutes later.
The older students waited for Gábor and Péter with a cake forming a big LEGO structure as they celebrated their 10th birthday on that day. The cake was made by the wife of one of the teachers. It was a real masterpiece. It weighed 10 kilogramms as the boys became 10 years old. Of course Happy Birthday was sung in Hungarian and English languages, too.

Gábor reacted with a joke: "When I will be 20 years old I shall get a cake weighing 20 kilogramms."

We hope this day and the gift will remain unforgettable for Gábor and they will help Gábor during his difficult times still to come.

We wish you Gábor a fast recovery!
