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.

Pisti has undergone several serious surgical interventions recently, he is still in hospital.

His wish from the Magic Lamp was a laptop, on which he could play his favorite games, for example Fortnite, and he could watch his favorite movies, those with lots of car chase scenes.

On the day I visited him, he did not feel well, but when he could get his hands on his Lenovo laptop he still smiled.

We would like to thank the generous guests and management of Corinthia Hotel Budapestand our private supporters as well, that we could fulfil Pisti’s wish with their help.

Csenge had to spend few days in hospital several times due to her illness. She is passing the time of waiting with two things. One of them is a new hobby, crocheting. The other one is listening to music.

That is why her wish from the Magic Lamp was a Samsung Galaxy earphone so she wouldn’t disturb others during she is listening to her favorite band, the Maneskin.

We would like to thank the Budapest Marriott Hotel for its support, with their help we could bring joy to another sick child.

Attila attends a special school, where most of the subjects are studied on digital devices.

His wish from the Magic Lamp was a laptop to make sthdying easier for him.

Attila did not know where and when he will get his wish that is why his joy was great when he could got his Lenovo laptop in his hands on his birthday, which he turned it on of course as soon as he got home.

We would like to thank the Budapest Marriott Hotel for its support, thanks to which we were able to fulfil Attila's wish.

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 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.

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.

Kitti has inborn mobility and balance problems unfortunately. She has a huge need for exercise, she loves to dance, to do gymnastics in wheelchair, and she goes also to Thai-box training in order to make herself stronger.

One of Kitti’s great desires is to be able to ride bicycle like her contemporaries.

So she had a wish, a special tricycle from the Genie of the Magic Lamp which is not only fun to ride but it strengthens also her leg muscles.

Kitti tried the new tricycle right away, about which we received the following video: https://youtube.com/shorts/eZikLovkrUo.

We would like to thank Henkel Magyarország Kft. for its support, which enabled us to fulfill Kitti’s wish.

The 3-year-old girl loves playing in the sand. She once saw a sandbox that had a little house attached to it, where she could play in the shade. Since then, it has been her dream to have such a sandbox in their own garden. And her dream came true!

Hanna, have fun and enjoy your gift!

We thank the Budapest Marriott Hotel for their support, with their help, we were able to bring great joy to another sick child.

Flóra arrived unsuspectingly for her regular check-up. However, a surprise awaited her at the end of the examination.

Her eyes sparkled when she saw the box of the desired phone. She unwrapped it excitedly and held the beautiful blue-colored device, which was now hers.

Flóra, we wish you much joy in using your new mobile.

Many thanks for the support of CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION OF AMERICA .

Dominik loves playing in the garden, and his big dream was to have his own playground with a swing, a slide, and a climbing frame.

"It would be awesome if there could be a climbing net in my playground"- said the little boy.

And his wish came true, just as he wanted.

Enjoy your playground Dominik!

We thank the Budapest Marriott Hotel for their support, with their help, we were able to bring great joy to another sick child.

Olivia met a trampoline for the first time at an event last year. She tried it right away and liked it so much that she didn't get off it for the entire event. Since then, she has been saying that her big wish is to have a trampoline of her own.

And today, Olivia's dream came true. She received her own huge trampoline, which will now stand in their garden, and the little girl can jump around in it whenever she wants!

We thank for the continued support of Henkel Magyarország Kft. , with their help, we could fulfill the little girl's wish!

The little boy loves driving so much that he couldn't wait to turn 3 years old and make a wish for a ride-on electric car from the Magic Lamp Foundation.

Kristóf - just a few weeks after his 3rd birthday - became the proud owner of a red Audi.

We would like to thank Henkel Magyarország Kft. for once again bringing great joy to a sick child!

Dorina is a little girl with limited mobility, so she was looking forward to the special bike that would allow her to ride together with other children. When the gift was handed over, the little girl did not feel well unfortunately – perhaps the great excitement played a role - so she was not in the mood to and in front of the camera, which of course does not detract from the value of her joy.

Thank you for the repeated support of Henkel Magyarország Kft., with their help we were able to fulfill Dorina’s wish.

Balint has been a football fan since childhood, his favourite team is FC Barcelona. His biggest dream was to attend a live match at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona.

And finally his dream came true.

Even the flight was a great experience: the captain personally welcomed Balint, took a photo with him, gave him a gift, and invited him to visit the cockpit.
The entire crew paid special attention to their young passenger.

The match started at 9:00 pm on Saturday evening. During the day, we explored the city, walked along the famous La Rambla and visited the port. The entire city of Barcelona was in football fever, and we were also getting excited for the evening program.

And then the long-awaited match arrived. Balint, wearing his Barca jersey and with a great smile on his face, sat in the front row with a big box of popcorn to watch the game. He sang along with the other fans and did the wave with them. This was the atmosphere he had wanted to experience, and he enjoyed every moment of it, even when it started to rain during the game. His favourite team eventually won 4-0.

The following day was also all about football: we took a stadium tour at Camp Nou, where Balint got to explore the history of the stadium, see relics of the greatest Barca players, sit in the VIP box, peek into the press room, and even visit the player's dressing room during the several-hour-long tour.

Balint returned home from his trip to Barcelona with fantastic memories. I am sure he will always happily remember this amazing journey.

It is always a great joy for us when we get a report or letter from one of our "magic lamp children", in this case from Zille: how did she feel, what did she see, did she enjoy the trip and most of all, were we able to fulfill her dream as she hoped?
When we said goodbye, she got as a farewell present a small mailbox like money box, so she can save money to return the soonest to England...
Read Zille's following lines with love:

My long-standing dream was to visit London one day. I can't really explain why I chose this city, I just heard a lot of good things about it, saw beautiful pictures of its sights, and recently started learning English, so I definitely wanted to go to an English-speaking country. Miraculously, my dream came true thanks to the Magic Lamp Foundation!

My first big surprise came when I could sit in the cockpit and walk around the plane in a cool yellow vest. The crew was very kind, I could take pictures with them, and they even gave us a little gift package.

We were greeted with the same great hospitality at the hotel. The buffet breakfast was the best, and the local muffins were unmatched. I had a lot of experiences. We visited, among others: Tower of London, Tower Bridge, BBC Experience, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Madame Tussauds, and the London Eye.

/ 12

I can't choose which one I liked the most, they all had their own charm. We walked a lot every day, average 15,000 steps, but we didn't feel tired at all. Orientation was relatively easy, from the second day we knew which direction each metro line was going and what its final stop was. We didn't just travel by subway, we also tried the black taxi and the red London bus. Luckily, I had a seat on the upper deck, in the front row, so I could admire the city of London from above, just like from the London Eye.

The weather was fantastic too! Pleasant temperature, we didn't freeze, didn't get sunburned, and it didn't even rain except for one evening, but only for max. 10 minutes. At least I can say that I held an umbrella in my hand in London.
My positive experience was that the people living and working there were helpful, polite, and much calmer than here in Hungary.

I had a really great time in London, and I'm sure I will return to this dream city in my lifetime.

We are grateful to the management and personnel of Wizz Air Hungary Ltd, IBIS Styles Budapest Airport, IBIS London Earl's Court hotels, and that of the bpv Jádi Németh Law Office , the membership of XpatLoop, the gamer Paplovag, theJet Travel and other private sponsors, that we were able to realise Zille's dream.

Misko came to us with a very big request.

He wanted to meet Sir David Attenborough, who has been his role model since he was 5 years old. The boy follows the scientist's programs day and night, speaks excellent English, so understanding the foreign language is not a problem for him, and Sir David's fantastic speaking style also brings him joy.

We knew that this request was almost impossible to fulfill due to the scientist's age, but we still tried. We tried to reach Sir David for many months, and several top executives in the domestic media also helped with their contacts - without success.

Still we didn't give up the search, and on an early spring day, while browsing the internet, I found a phone number related to one of his previous reports. Just maybe...
I called the number, and fortunately, we were able to get in touch with the person closest to him, his daughter. Jane was very helpful, and she even provided us with the contact information of their official representative, who confirmed that due to his old age, Sir David unfortunately no longer accepts such requests. We understood this, of course, and I told Misko about it, but I also asked him to wait a little bit, because although we couldn't fulfill his wish, we would like to surprise him with something else.

Sir David's representative advised us to take Misko to London and show him the BBC Earth Exhibition, where Sir David is the narrator.

We liked the idea and planned to show Misko other museums as well, as he already has a vast knowledge, and I believed that it would surely bring him joy.

On the way from the airport, we made an unscheduled stop at the scientist's house in Richmond, and of course, we took some photos. There, I gave him a photo of Sir David with a personalized dedication, and then we took a walk in the nearby Richmond Park, where the Attenborough family often used to hike.

Words cannot express how much joy the trip brought to Misko. His mother and I often had to run from one room to another, as the wheelchair became more of a racing car at such times... Misko's scientific knowledge is incredibly vast, and I learned a lot from him. It was a great feeling to move around the world of science with such a guide for a few days.

What was the best thanks for fulfilling his wish? Apart from what Misko wrote in his English "thank you" letter, the kind words he said to me when we said goodbye... but let that be our secret.

I hope and wish that he will have many more similar trips, and that he will stay in touch with us and the Magic Lamp team for a long time.

We would like to express our gratitude to our supporters, Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., IBIS Styles Budapest Airport hotel, IBIS London Earl's Court, Mosolyka MOST Fundation, members of XpatLoop, the students and teachers of the Thomas Mann Gymnasium-Deutsche Schule Budapest, as well as our private donors, for making it possible for us to fulfill Misko's very special request.

I asked Misko to write a few lines in English to our supporters:

The opportunity to travel to England and explore the remarkable sights and museums in London became a reality for me, all thanks to the generous support of the Magic Lamp foundation. As someone who has wanted to visit London for years, the chance to witness the exceptional exhibits at the London Natural History Museum was particularly thrilling, given my passion for biology and paleontology.
Besides this another very good thing happened that was amazing. They managed to get an original David Attenborough signature. I am immensely grateful to the Magic Lamp foundation for facilitating this incredible and unforgettable experience. Their generosity made it possible for me to spend a few very good days in London, and for that, I express my heartfelt appreciation.

Zoltán is a dedicated football player who loves kicking the ball from morning till night.
His teammates supported him by not wearing his number 7 jersey until he returned from his treatments.

For him, it was no question what he would ask from our foundation: he wanted to see a live match of his favourite team, Manchester United, in England.

With the help of a very kind supporter, we managed to get tickets to the Tottenham - Manchester United match held at Tottenham's new, modern stadium, and of course, it was a full house.
The fact that we even managed to get tickets was a small miracle in itself, as it is impossible for outsiders to buy tickets for these matches. Only club members can buy tickets in advance, and very rarely are there any "leftover" tickets for non-members.

Zoltán eagerly awaited the match, certainly rooting for his favourite team. In the first half, they were leading by two goals, but the final score was 2-2, so the match ended in a draw.
This did not dampen Zoltán's spirits, as he said with shining eyes that he never thought he would see Manchester United play live.

/ 7

The surprises didn't end there, as one of the managers at our London accommodation even managed to get Zoltán a prospectus signed by Carney Chukwuemeka, the player who wears the number 30 jersey for Chelsea. Zoltán was speechless with surprise.

As we were getting ready to say goodbye, it was very touching when Zoltán said that the best thing about his illness was that he was able to come to London. He is now starting to learn English again and hopes to return one day to this beautiful city with us.

We wish you a speedy recovery Zoltán, and we hope that your dream of becoming a professional football player comes true.
