CSENGE (15, MÁRKÓ)

The dream of Csenge, an aspiring chef, who studies cooking and tourism in a high school in Veszprém, was to meet with superstar chef, Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants have collected 17 Michelin stars thus far during his career, including Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London that has held 3 Michelin stars since 2001.

Mr Gordon Ramsay has graciously agreed to meet with Csenge and invited her to the shooting of the forthcoming series of Next Level Chef, a huge hit in the US. The filming takes place in Ashford Studios, close to Dublin, so Csenge, for the first time in her life, got on a plane to travel to Ireland for the meeting.

Her visit was truly thrilling!
She was allowed to sit on the side of the set and watch up close and personal how the jury of the cooking competition evaluated the dishes of the three teams and came up with the best dish of the remaining nine contestants. She could follow for about half an hour the filming of the show, how the professional, the social media and amateur chefs organized in teams listened to the three members of jury, Gordon Ramsay, Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais as they provided feedback on their performance.
She could also check out the fascinating set of three kitchens on three different floors, each having a different level of sophistication.

Once the filming was over, Csenge was warmly welcomed by Mr. Ramsay and the two other members of the jury. Mr. Ramsay asked Csenge about her ambition and the meals she liked to cook most, and shared with her his lovely experience, visiting Hungary where he truly enjoyed the food and wines. They also exchanged gifts, and Csenge got a chef apron, signed by the world famous Chef. He gave a big hug to Csenge as they said good-bye. Csenge was over the moon!

Mr. Ramsay’s assistant, Ms. Laura Giarusso who has kindly organized the visit with her colleagues, also showed her the set from behind the scenes and the control room where the work of numerous cameras was coordinated.

Padraig Humby, the owner of Chester Beatty Inn in Ashford has been so kind as to pick up Csenge from the airport and took her to the studio and neighboring Wicklow for a visit.

It was a wonderful experience, a memory of a lifetime for Csenge!

We would like to express our sincere thanks to SIr Gordon Ramsay for his kindness and also to the management of Intrum Zrt, Kühne+Nagel Kft., Plazmaszolgálat Kft. and to our private sponsors that made Csenge's dream reality.

ATTILA DOMINIK (16, NYÍREGYHÁZA-OROS)

Attila is a 16 year old boy, who went through a difficult operation in November 2022. He had a wish from the Magic Lamp to be able to go to Monza, to Formula 1.

Right at the beginning of the flight, Attila was amazed, because before the other passengers boarded, Wizz Air staff showed him the plane from the outside and inside. He could also sit in the cockpit and ask all his questions to the pilots until the other passengers took their seats on the plane. Attila even received a gift package from the Wizz Air team, of which he was very glad.

After arriving in Milan on Friday morning and taking our rooms at the hotel, we immediately went into Monza for the Formula 1 venue. There, Attila's ear-length smile could not be removed. On Friday there was free training. Attila was very excited to follow the Formula 3, Formula 2 and Formula 1 training circles.

We had excellent seats during the three days at the race track, we were sitting in a covered stand just in front of the home straight, and we even saw the last curve perfectly.

/ 10



We spent most of our Saturday with sightseeing as Attila had never been to Milan yet and wanted to see it. We climbed to the top of Milan Cathedral, visited the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping center, walked through the charming streets of Milan and landed at Sforzescoi Castle. In the meantime we had lunch and visited one of the best ice cream shop in Milan.

Finally came the third day, the most exciting day, Sunday, the day of the race. We got up early and were already at the Formula 1 track at 8:30 in the morning. We watched the Formula 3 race, then walked over to the Fans-zone, where we could see old Formula 1 cars and Attila could try different games. Then we watched the Formula 2 race, and then the Formula 1 drivers paraded to the spectators. Exactly at 3 p.m., the competitors started and we watched with great excitement as they raced past us.

Although Attila was rooting for Mercedes, especially for Hamilton, who did not perform so well in the race, Attila enjoyed every minute of the race. After the race was over, the organizers opened the track to spectators, so we could go down to the starting line and we were within arm's reach of the grandstand where the award ceremony was held. We celebrated the top three with the crowd together. After the event, we still had the opportunity to walk over to the old Formula 1 track, which was famous for the fact that part of the track was tilted, on which Attila slid down.

We ended our wonderful journey with a dinner where we were talked about the weekend's events.

We would like to thank our sponsors, Wizz Air Hungary Zrt, Ibis Milano Ca Granda Hotel, Nu Skin Eastern Europe Kft., Budapest Stock Exchange, ibis Styles Budapest Airport and our private sponsors, including Éva, that we could give Attila so much joy.

GERGŐ (11, GYÖMRŐ)



Gergő had the big dream to see the fireworks of August 20th.

His dream came true this St. Stephen's Day with the help of the Csodalámpa Foundation and the Budapest Marriott Hotel.

Gergő arrived with his parents and little sister by seven o’clock at the entrance hall of the Marriott Hotel where they were greeted and immediately shown to the the restaurant. They were seated at a table with a fantastic view looking over the Danube.
The management of the hotel invited the family for a buffet dinner as well so that they can pass the time even more pleasant. On the menu there was everything that lures the taste and sight and the family used the opportunity to try all the delicacies. A young waiter was always at their service and was asking them from time to time what he could bring them, how he could spoil them. By the time the children were practically full, the lights were switched off and the long awaited fireworks started.

Gergő was amazed watching the coloured lights, the beautiful forms created by the explosions, the light-screening and the lasershow. The explosions were loud but it didn’t disturb Gergő at all, he just enjoyed the beautiful sight.

Gergő’s dream came true and he was totally immersed in the colourful show. He will have a lot to talk about upon returning to the school at the beginning of September.

We thank the management of the Budapest Marriott Hotel, Mr. Arne Klehn and his collegues Budapest Marriott Hotel for their generous support that made it possible to fulfill Gergő’s wish.

PETRA (18, HÓDMEZŐVÁSÁRHELY)


Petra is a very active young girl. She competes in inline skating and caring for animals means a lot to her as well. She is studying to become a veterinary assistant, so it was no surprise that her wish from the Magic Lamp was to swim with dolphins.

The small team flew to Malta to make Petra's and another child's dream come true. Petra arrived at the airport directly from her inline skating camp, and of course, she had her skates attached to her backpack. Luckily, there was no problem, and her favorite item was allowed on the plane. As VIP guests, we were among the first to board the aircraft, and the girls even got to see the cockpit. It was Petra's first flight, so there was a lot of novelty and excitement on the way there.

Upon arriving in Malta late in the evening, there was only time for a quick transfer to the hotel, but we were thrilled to occupy the wonderful rooms.

The next day was the big day when the wish came true. Upon arriving at the marinepark, we had a few activities to choose from: we watched a parrot show, fed birds, marveled at the fantastic performance of two dolphins, and then we moved to a separate pool where Petra, dressed in a special suit, could enter the water with the dolphin. It was undoubtedly an experience she will remember forever. During the trip, there was also an opportunity for some sightseeing, hiking, and enjoying the fantastic comfort and services of our accommodation. There was even some time for inline skating.

The young girl happily flew back home. Although she arrived very late, she probably didn't mind it at all.





On behalf of Petra and ourselves, we would like to express our gratitude to our supporters: Wizz Air Hungary LTD.,
to Mr. Jonathan Pace and to Mr. Carl Galea and the colleagues of Radisson Blu Resort Malta St. Julian’s Hotel, the Groupama Biztosító ZRt., the generous guests of Corinthia Hotel Budapest, as well as our private supporters, Szilvia and Balázs, for helping us make another dream come true!

KINGA (14, HÓDMEZŐVÁSÁRHELY)

Kinga has just finished the 8th grade, she is a cheerful and kind girl. As she has been frequently ill lately, she wanted to relax and rest a bit. Her wish was to have a beach vacation, preferably traveling by plane. Her dream came true, and she could fly to Malta.

Even the departure from the airport was special, as she could board the plane as a VIP guest and even enter the cockpit.

Upon arriving in Malta, Kinga happily occupied her wonderful hotel room with a sea view. During the few days spent there, she visited Malta's capital, Valletta, as well as a beautiful fishing village called Marsaxlokk.
She had the opportunity to swim in the hotel's pool and then relax on the sunbeds. Enjoying delicious breakfast in the hotel and having dinner in a nearby small town was a true relaxation for her.

As a bonus, she had an unforgettable experience swimming with dolphins as part of the local marinepark program. Dressed in a special outfit, Kinga entered the pool where she met the dolphin. The marinepark also had dolphin and parrot shows, so that day gave her wonderful memories as well.

The return flight was late at night, but hopefully, she arrived home with memories that will last a lifetime.

DONÁT (10, SZIGETSZENTMIKLÓS)

We were in Paris between May 12th and 14th. Our Wizz Air flight was wonderful, the children cried and laughed during take-off, it was a unique experience and really pleasant.

It was fantastic that the little girl and the little boy – who dreamed of getting to Eurodiesney – experienced the miracle and abounded in all the beautiful and good things during these 3 days.

I think we couldn’t have gone to a better place, we really got into a fairytale land and everything was ours here. It was almost impossible to take advantage of the opportunities. Seeing everything, trying everything and to live all the experiences in a week is maybe not possible, but we got a lot, really a lot. The programs took us with them. At breakfast we got acquainted with the French kitchen, then we chatted in the park all day, did whatever we liked and what was wheelchair accessible. We have got on all the roller coasters, on the toughest track twice, according to its order and manner. You couldn't get enough of that. We looked at the many wonders and attractions, took pictures with Jaffar – after all it is the Magic Lamp – and we went also on a wonderful boat trip.

On the way home we stopped at the Eiffel Tower, the sight of which also fascinated the children.

I’m sure that my little fellow travelers enjoyed every minute of the journey and returned home with memories that will last a lifetime.

We are grateful to our supporters: Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., Jet Travel agency, Disneyland Paris, Groupama Biztosító ZRt., Budapesti Értéktőzsde Zrt., Henkel Magyarország Kft., the teachers and students of Thomas Mann Gymnasium-Deutsche Schule Budapest, as well as to our private sponsors for making Donát’s dream come true.

ZSOMBOR (5, PÁKOZD)



Zsombor is a kind and decent little boy. His wish from the Magic Lamp was to get to the Zoo in Nyíregyháza.

Already on the first day they walked around the half of the Animal Park with his three-wheeled vehicle, with which he presented a short drag race too.

He is fond of fishes that is why they chose the animal park. He wants to get to know as many fishes as possible and learn their names.

He liked also the musical fountain very much.

Zsombor would like to get to know even more animals on the second day and after a walk around the lake they are planning a water bike ride too.

We thank the support to the Budapest Marriott Hotel, with their help we could make Zsombor’s wish come true.

ZSÜLIETT TERÉZ (10, JÁSZAPÁTI)


Máté is a big superhero fan, while Zsüliett is fond of princess tales, so what else would be they wish than to go to Disneyland in Paris in order to meet their favorites.

Even the flight was a special experience, the crew of Wizz Air greeted the children separately, they were the first to step on the plane, they could enter the cockpit, and in addition they received a Wizz Air bag full with surprises from the crew at the departure.

But it was only the beginning on that day, as another huge surprise bag awaited the young guests in the beautiful Disney Hotel. We spent the evening in the park already, where we could try out the better and better games. Although we were tired, we couldn’t miss the evening light and drone show, and then the fireworks.

We spent the whole day on Saturday with exploring the two parks. Sometimes we flew with Pieter Pan over London, sometimes we could look around in the park on the magic carpet of Aladdin, or on Dumbo’s back.

During the day the fairytale heroes appeared several times in different places, so we had the opportunity to take pictures with Pieter Pan, Pluto and Minnie Mouse. We could watch one of the highlights of the day, the afternoon parades from a separate VIP place.

On Sunday morning we said goodbye to Disneyland with a heavy heart, but in order not to be left without surprises on that day we made a small detour to Eiffel tower on the way to the airport. We returned home from Paris tired but with unforgettable experiences.

We are grateful to our sponsors: to Wizz Air Hungary Ltd, Disneyland Paris, Groupama Biztosító ZRt., and to our private sponsors Szilvia and Balázs for making Zsüli’s dream come true.
