Levente (16, Budapest)

Levente has already heard – and studied – a lot about Rome, about its sights and of course about its delicious pizza and gelato. He really wanted to experience it firsthand.

Levente has never travelled on an airplane before, thus already the airport was interesting for him but it caused him additional joy when the captain welcomed him on board by name. The icing on the cake was, when after landing, he was allowed to go into the cockpit, thanks to WizzAir Foundation.

Since Levente was first of all interested in the Colosseum, we headed there first. It was a fantastic feeling seeing this magnificent monument! We could only go in the next day, so we continued our walk toward Circus Maximus. Strolling towards Tevere also Levente put his hand in „the mouth of truth” -and got it out safely😊. After eating pizza for lunch we got to Saint Peter’s square, which got Levente in awe, and he was mesmerized by the size and beauty of the Basilica. There were so many sights to take in that he barely felt tired after this long day, so in the evening we visited the Trevi-fountain and the Spanish steps as well.

Our second day was entirely taken up by wandering around the Colosseum and the Forum Romanum – it was beautiful!
We started the third day on Piazza del Popolo, after which we revisited – this time in daylight - the Spanish steps, the Trevi-fountain, and we could tick the Pantheon off the list as well. After all this walking Levente earned himself a true Italian gelato – it was difficult choosing from the 150 flavours offered. Refreshed, we admired Piazza Navona, walked along the river, through the Jewish quarters, and at the Largo di Torre Argentina we counted the cats.


On the fourth – and last – day we visited the Santa Maggiore Basilica and then we went to the local vegetable and fish market. After that we still had time to go up to the top of the Vittorio Emanuele II. memorial, from where we enjoyed a breathtaking view. It was a worthy goodbye from this beautiful city! Levente gained a lot of experiences on this trip, the „eternal city” became an eternal memory for him in only a few days.


We would like to thank our supporters, Firstmed FMC, Kontron Hungary Kft, Wizz Air Hungary Ltd and our private sponsors that we were able to realise Levente's dream.

Ákos (14, Bögöt)

Ákos’s hobby is nature, and he loves animals. He had a big dream: to pet a dolphin and swim with it.

He could hardly believe that his wish would soon come true. But it did. On a beautiful September day, Wizz Air flew us to the wonderful island, Malta, where the boy’s wish was completely fulfilled. Even the flight itself was a great experience for Ákos, as he received a gift from the kind, smiling staff, and he even was allowed into the cockpit.

In Malta, the wonders continued at the elegant Corinthia Hotel, where they awaited him with a chocolate cake and balloons, and during our stay, they continuously paid special attention to every wish of their little guest. We planned to meet the dolphins the day after our arrival, but it started raining unexpectedly, so this program was postponed to the next day. We waited for the unusually heavy rain to stop, then went on an excursion to a beautiful place, and even took a dip in the sea towards the end of the day.

A day later, we finally made it to the Dolphinarium, where many interesting things awaited us. Ákos’s favorites were the dolphin show and the parrot show, but he also enjoyed feeding the little parrots from his hand. The highlight of the day was, of course, swimming with the dolphin, which the little boy had longed for so much and which undoubtedly became a lifelong memory for him.

On the last day, we squeezed in a short beach visit before heading back to Budapest, bringing home unforgettable memories.

Dorka loves sports, swimming and horse riding, but she draws and paints most of her time.

She attends art school and plans to become a graphic designer.

She asked the Magic Lamp for drawing books, a set of 150 drawing pencils and acrylic paints.

Dorka proudly showed her creations, including the one that has already been exhibited at the Corvin Community Centre in Erzsébetliget.

We would like to thank the organizers of the Diplomatic Charity Fair, the Budapest Diplomatic Spouses Association and our private supporters for helping us make Dorka's wish come true.

Vanessza (17, Dunaújváros)

Vanessza is preparing for a longer hospital treatment, during which she will be many, many kilometers away from her family.

What she wanted from Magic Lamp was a mobile phone with which she could keep in touch with her family members and girlfriends from afar. Of course, she will also be able to surf the Internet and listen to music on the iPhone.

We would like to thank the generous guests and management of the Corinthia Budapest hotel, as well as our private sponsors, for helping us to fulfill Vanessza's wish!
