''We would like to thank the staff of DDB Hungary, Malev - Hungarian Airlines, the Hungarian Cultural Center and the Hungarian Embassy in London, Budapest Taxi and The British Tours, the management of Londoni Magyarok Association, that they made it possible for us to fulfill Csaba's wish.

Special thanks to the pilots of Malev, who showed Csaba the cockpit, thus realising his long-time wish, and to the management of Gyöngyös Mézes for the small souvenirs.

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.

Csongor's long-time wish was a dog. His parents kept saying that once he felt better and the doctor allowed it he would get one indeed, so there was no need to worry. But Csongor did not give up, he asked again and again when the big day was to come.

He chose the breed he wanted a long time ago: he opted for a Golden Retriever and even gave a name to it, Döme.

We heard about his wish in February and soon we talked with his parents and doctors about the "when and how".

In the meantime the pupils of The American International School of Budapest asked us to let them realise this dream. After great preparation we chose Döme, for whom our voluntary, Eszter drove all the way to Győr...

Csongor, of course, kept browsing the Foundation website and sadly asked his mother many times when he would receive the dog. Then the big day came, 4th June, when Csongor was invited to the AISB to take part on the last general meeting of the academic year.

Without his knowledge, Döme, the puppy arrived also on time, hidden in Marc Lavoie's room...

Csongor knew only that many of the pupils here were working hard on making his dream real. Boys and girls, older and younger were dancing and playing music on the stage, the ceremony was on its way - he really liked it.

In the second half of the ceremony teachers and children suddenly started to talk about the Wonderlamp Foundation.

They talked about Csongor and Erik, whose wishes they wanted to fulfill right there. Then came a wiggling box decorated with paw traces and a red bow, containing Döme himself. Not even the schoolchildren knew exactly what was hiding in the box, so when the 2-month old puppy climbed out of it we just heard a big 'Aaaah'in the theatre hall...

We hope that the attached photos talk for themselves.

We thank the pupils of the AISB that they helped us make Csongor so happy. And special thanks to Mr. Lóránt Nagy, who raised Döme to become such a 'well-mannered' dog.

The most outstanding wish-fulfilment in Nice (France) by Csodalámpa

Our plane left for the beautiful French town, Nice on Saturday afternoon (14 of April). In the beginning the girls got scared of the flight, but their fears have disappeared soon. And what is more they enjoyed it a lot. After the 4-hour long flight we checked in the hotel and had a walk on the shore. The girls were excited about the next morning. Mr. Lagon who is the keeper of Phoenix and Lizzie was waiting for us kindly and warmly. The girls were dressed into fisherman's long pants and after washing their hands they could go to the water. They were allowed to pat the dolphines and to conduct training session in the morning. Although they had different feelings about the skin of the dolphines, the experience was touching for both of them. "It's the best three days of my life!" Trixi repeated it several times during the week-end. After petting the dolphins, we saw a dolphin show, a bird show, an orca show and a seal show. In Marineland we visited the aquarium, the sharks, the pinguins, the pelicans and we caressed the rays. This small sea-world was very impressive. We could see many animals and we got home with lots of memories. The next day we had some time to walk on the shore and look around in Nice. Our experience is everlasting - she said.

Tünde says:

"It was very, very, very good!!!" It was the first time in my life to fly, to go abroad and to see the sea. I brought back home some real sea-water to my family so they could small how it was. In the beginning I got scared of the flight a little bit but finally I liked it a lot. Both the take-off and landing were fine. I liked that the German captain and pilots informed us about the most important things to know, they introduced themselves and said good-bye at the end of the flight, and they were very polite. I love the dolphines since I was a child, I always wanted to see them in the real life. We show the tasks to the dolphines, we were playing with them, and we were allowed to pet them. We conducted them and they were singing, they jumped out of the water as we gave a sign to them with our hand. I was with Mr Lagon and I gave the instructions to Phoenix. We spent a half-an-hour with them, though it seemed to take only 10 minutes. We could have pet them the whole day becuse of their silky skin.

I liked everything in Marineland especially to pet the dolphines and the dolphine show as they were jumping, playing ball and lifted their keeper out of the water.

Trixi says (12)

This flight was the first time for me too. I was scared in the beginning, but I really enjoyed it later. I even thought that I would be an air hostess some time. It was also the first time to see the sea, which was very blue and salty. I liked the breakers on the shore, I gathered lots of stones and I brought some sea-water home. As I was sitting on the shore I thought that it would be the best three days of my life. And I was right. Lizzie was a little bit rough to the feel, but the skin of her belly was silky and white. It was so good with them! I could have pet Lizzie the whole day. She was very nice and dutiful. Though she always got a task and left me when I wanted to pet her some more. I checked her mouth too: she got small white teeth and there was a kind of tongue. I liked a lot as she jumped out of the water when I gave a sign with my hand, and she was playing with her caudal fin. I liked the bottle nose dolphine show the most, especially when they jumped through the circle and they played ball with the audience. I liked the bird show when the different type of birds of prey were flying close above our heads. The orka show was held in a transparent pool and we could see the huge animal (6-7 m) swimming and how the orka put out his tongue to his keeper.:) Then he crawled out of the water and he was waving with his tail. And he crawled on the edge of the pool as well. At the end of the show five dolphines jumped out of the water together. I caressed a ray as well - it was glib like a fish, I think the dolphin's skin was smoother. I liked the palmtrees in Nice, they were everywhere: at the roundobaouts and all along the seashore.

The girls gave me their talks on the plane when we returned, so these were their most current experience.

We can thank the three loveliest days of the girls' life to the DDB Hungary, the Lufthansa airline, to the Hotel Pilotel at Antibes and to the employees of Marineland in Nice, and last but not least to Wonderlamp for organising this trip.

My wish from "Csodalámpa" was to meet Mr. László Lukács, the singer of Tankcsapda (a very famous Hungarian rock band - if not the most famous).

I got really excited as I heard how fast my dream could come true. My friend came to my mind immediately with whom we were listening to Tankcsapda songs all day long in the training camp.

The real surprise was that we could take part on their concert as well as meeting him. To get all in once was a real adventure. We arrived at 6 o'clock to the concert hall. We felt warmly welcomed as the manger told to the security guys that we are allowed to enter for free as guests of the band. With Anna we were looking for The meeting.

Mr. László Lukács who was really cool relived all our nervousness. It was him who suggested taking photos together. We hav invented quite a lot of questions but as excited as we were, finally László was the one who asked questions from us. At the time we realized what was really happening we found ourselves in the first row dancing (as far as one can dance in the first row :-)

László recognised us very fast from the stage and tried to throw all kind of relics toward us but as we are not the only fans we did not have any at the end. The concert finished around midnight and we travelled home very exhausted but full of experiences to Tatabánya.

I would like to say thanks to "Csodalámpa" and especially Ms. Anita Kissné Horváth for organising this terrific meeting!

Thanks a lot,

Dorottya ****

Ákos had been member of the local football team before illness attacked his body. However, he has still remained devoted football fan, and wished to participate on one of the matches of his favourite football teem, Arsenal.
Due to László Szabó's and Éva Kertész's help the great adventure was ready to start, when Ákos's condition suddenly turned to worse and the boy could not leave. We surprised him with a few Arsenal-relics hoping that these would ease his disillusionment and bring his favourite team closer. We hope that he will soon be able to play football in his new sportswear. Get well, Ákos!

Képriport

The wish:
"Zoli is a devoted fan of the movie "Üvegtigris". He would like to meet the actor Péter Rudolf, who played the role of Lali, the hotdog vendor. He would like Lali to prepare a hamburger or a hotdog for him, but he does not want so much ketchup on it as in the movie. Zoli's other wish is to be taken for a ride on the Babetta motorcycle by Imre Csuja, who played the role of Csoki in the film.
The great event took place on the 14th of April 2006. The following photo report recalls a few moments of it.

Krisztián had prepared a wonderful picutre for the long expected meeting with Michael Schumacher. It was not a surprise that the almost photolike-quality picture depicted Schumacher's red Ferrari. Michael was very much pleased by the picture, and first he did not even believe that it had been prepared for him. After having received the huge Ferrari flag with the signiture of the German celebrity, the evidently very happy kid was let into the stadium, where he could follow the charity football match. Krisztián cheered for his favourite pilot, who performed phenomenally - obviously just for the sake of the Wonderlamp wish-kids.
But wonders did not end at this point: Krisztián was allowed to the Saturday qualifying session where he could keep his fingers crossed for Schumacher. Despite the 2-second penalty, the pilot did not disillusion his devoted fan. Thanks to everybody who had helped us to grant this wish, providing an unforgettable experience for Krisztián.

We experss our thanks to Shell Hungary for providing the tickets, to Careers Management Group and to the representative of formula.hu for arrangeing the meeting.
According to Mr. Schumacher's request we may not edit pictures of the event.

Ádám is a devoted rally fan. His dream came true in August, when he could participate on the final round of this year's races, the Mecsek Rally. He met his favourite Hungarian pilots and cheered for them during the race. We hope that this experience will contribute to Ádám's recovery.

After the 3-hour journey by car Attila was already very excited to get into the Zoo. They were taken aback by the endless queue at the ticket office, but thanks to the Zoo Foundation they were let inside very quickly. The boy's excitement only grew as he stopped at each cage to see the animals. Seals and monkeys are his favourite animals. Unfortunately the giraffe had hidden somewhere, therefore Attila could not see it. In the afternoon everybody was already tired except for Attila, who kept on watching around with endless curiosity end energy.
After this wonderful experience the way back home seemed much shorter.

Márk asked for a cellular phone for his birthday. When he arrvived to the hospital for medical control he was pleased to hear that his wish had come true. His eyes were full of hapiness as he opend the box and put into use immediately the brandnew telephone set. He called his father and his friends, tried out each game and sent short messages to each member of the family. We wish Mark quick recovery, as well as a lot of joy and hapiness in the future.

Wonderlamp Foundation expresses thanks to Mr. János Varga and his family for granting Márk's wish.

István's favourite toys are cars. Although he has a great number of cars, he still has a dream: he would like a balck or green, remote-controlled jeep. Having found out the date of István's medical treatment, our representatives awaited him at the hospital with a nicely wrapped package. The boy's eyes widened when he found out what the package contained. He quickly adjusted the remote control and tried out the vehicle. "It's much better than the one I got from Daddy, because this one works!" he said.

István's dream has become reality: he keeps the remote controlled military jeep near his bed even during the treatments.

Kálmán has often watched his friends playing Play Staion games, therefore when he was inquired about his wish, he answered without hesitation: a Play Staion. Representatives of the Wonderlamp Foundation visited Kálmán during his medical treatment, delivering the desired game set to him. The boy's eyes were twinkling with hapiness when he received the gift. The "great battles" against friends and brothers have alredy been started.

A few weeks later we were able to surprise him with another gift, a Play Staion 2 set offered by one of our supporters. With this game he can become expert in rescueing hostages and telling good and bad apart. Have a nice time, Kálmán!

Blanka regularly used to attend ballet lesson in the kindergarten. She simply loved those lessons. Due to her illness and her medical treatment however, she was forced to give up ballet, and moreover, she is not allowed to go to the kindergarten either. She missed the ballet lessons very much and expected our help in it.
Blanka's wish was first fulfilled on the 9th of March 2006, when - with the help of ballet artist Tibor Kováts - she could experience a fantastic "home" lesson by Orsi Balogh.
They started from the very beginning, with the basic steps:
"Let' turn into dwarfs!"
"Walk with an apple on your head!"
"Toes and pipes..."

Blanka did a very nice job during the lesson, therefore at the end she received a few stickers from her teacher.
Thank you Orsi for the lesson!
Orsi has promised to continue teaching Blanka, and we are eager to give an account of the little girl's progression.
We express our thanks to Orsi Balogh and Tibor Kováts ballet artist.

Afterglow:
Blanka and Orsi work together every Thursday - if the treatment schedule of the little girl makes it possible. Blanka has made a nice progress due to the regular ballet lessons and she received a ballet bench from her teacher. Have a nice time together!
