Kinga (16 years old, Székesfehérvár)

One of Kinga’s greatest wishes was to see a live performance of the "Phantom of the Opera".

Being a life-long fan of musicals, she was aware of the many exciting performances held in the capital's theaters. She had heard of the high praise received by the "Phantom" from friends and for her this musical felt like a natural choice.

So, it was with great anticipation that we got ready for Kinga's attendance. We also wished to surprise her with something special and not normally available to public spectators. Together with the theater directors we arranged to provide Kinga with the opportunity to meet the three main characters after the curtains fell.

Kinga and her family enjoyed the performance enormously with the experience enhanced by being in the privileged position of viewing it from the director’s box.
During the break we were happy to tuck into the tasty drinks and snacks which were served and feeling suitably refreshed we looked forward keenly to the second act.

After the numerous and thoroughly deserved rounds of applause Andrea Mahó greeted us warmly, as 8 years previously Gábor had also the same wish therefore Andrea was already familiar with Csodalámpa.


As a souvenir we presented the actress with a copy of the report from that previous visit. Neither "Raoul" nor the "Phantom" were left empty-handed either - thanks to the expert confectioners of Szamos Confectionery all three were presented with reproductions of the famous mask crafted from marzipan together with a red rose.

Kinga was in turn presented with the original mask from the play as a gift from the theater.

We feel confident that this wonderful evening will have given strength to Kinga on her journey to recovery as well as encouraging her to become a lifelong fan of theater.

Bence (6, Budapest)

Bence likes stories a lot and he enjoys watching TV programmes too, but his absolute favourite is Thomas the Tank Engine.
Little Bence told the Wonderlamp’s Genie that if he had his own little home cinema, he would be watching children’s programmes day and night and he would never, ever get bored with them - watching cartoons is the best thing in the whole wide world.
The Genie didn’t have to think long to figure out what kind of home cinema little Bence meant. He started looking for a DVD player to bring these stories to the little boy as soon as possible.
Our benefactor, the lovely Marika helped us in our quest - she decided to fulfil this little boy’s dream.

We arrived at the Tűzoltó utca children’s hospital just at the right time. Bence had just been given an uncomfortable injection and although he was already playing with his toy cars happily, he seemed in need of a real treat.

/ 3



When we greeted him and told him that the Genie of the Wonderlamp Foundation had sent us, he immediately suspected that something wonderful was about to happen. Marika unwrapped treasure after treasure for him, DVDs of Thomas and his friends got out of the package, and finally, the sought after DVD player.
The little boy was so happy he didn’t know where to start, what to look at first. He was showing his mum and granny all his wonderful new presents, and kissed Marika on the cheek many times. His twinkly eyes told it all: “now I can watch these stories as much as I want and I can even stop the player and start talking to my favourite characters and share all my secrets with them...” - they said.

We said goodbye to Bence and when we were leaving the hospital we couldn’t decide who was happier: Bence about the presents, or Marika or I, who had been lucky enough to share the happiness of the little boy.

We wish you a lot of happiness, little Bence, with your new toys, and a full recovery.

Special thanks to our donor Mária Pédl, without whose generous help Bence’s dream would not have been fulfilled.

Fanni (17 years old from Miskolc)

Fanni is a lovely and pretty teenager. She wished to see and have first hand experience on the making of an international film. As a grownup she intends to work in the film industry. She is preparing hard for this, she knows quite a lot about films, media and already speaks German and English.
We asked her to write down in English why this is her wish and what exactly she hopes to see at a film shooting.

We made a little "conspiracy" with her parents in order to surprise her: she had no idea, why on earth shall they meet us Tuesday morning outside of Miskolc and why are we travelling to Kassa. Her parents told her only, that she should come in order to clear a few points concerning her wish.
Of course, arriving in Kassa we told her the truth, that just after lunch she would meet the producer of the film "Until the end of times" Mr. Howard Ellis.

He soon arrived with two of his colleagues, After the introductions they told Fanni, that she is in for quite some surprises: she can meet many of the actors, the production manager and many other "insiders". She can see the shooting itself, meet the makeup people, the costume designers - in short whatever she wishes...

Fanni then gave Mr. Ellis the letter explaining why-s and what-s and thanked him his kindness and help. Mr. Ellis then asked her, what did she think the most interesting and her answer was: "everything".

Our tour started at the St. Cathrine church. We took our time at the shooting of one scene: after the crumbling of a stone bridge (this scene was shot somewhere else), the walk on actor's task was to care for the wounded. Of course the wounded people were also walk on actors.
They were sprinkled with water all the time: they were expected to be soaked as they were just pulled out from the river. The makeup crew worked hard to create wounds on their arms, faces, and in between they practiced their short, few sentences long roles. They were a crowd of around 200...

Fanni was seeming enchanted by the shooting and all the information she got: who, what and how should solve, who should be ready for action and where, the makeup should put more mud on the face of this or that actor, who should and how cry...

We could follow the whole procedure of the preparations and the shooting itself and then we were allowed to wander around the area as well. Then we were shown the mobile homes, the tents and met a few dozen people from the crowd actors as well.

/ 7



To our big surprise we recognised among the actors Mr. Argus Filch, the somber mood caretaker of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter films -Mr. David Bradley. Mr. Bradley even kindly let us shot a common picture with Fanni. Was this the magic lamp's magic?!?

Then we took our time with the makeup team - Fanni too got pretty makeup, and she was given an official pass that allowed her to enter the premises of the shooting. We could only thank many times all the people we met, they were so kind, answered patiently Fanni's questions...

After a while we needed some rest, so we drunk some hot chocolate in a nearby sweets shop.

This gave enough strength to Fanni to join again the film crowd and "check" the situation. As a souvenir she got a coin too.

We said our goodbyes and thank you-s late afternoon to the film makers, a bit tired but very happy. We expressed our thanks to Mr. Howard Ellis and his crew - without his support it would have been almost impossible to make Fanni's wish come true.

We wish Fanni a fast recovery and that in a few years time we should meet her as a professional at another film shooting.

Vanessza (7 years old; Olaszfa)





Even the sun was happily smiling on Sunday when Vanesssa finally saw her wish to spend a day in Vidámpark (Budapest Theme Park) with her family come through. Vanessza and her brother Norbi were hardly to contain their excitement when we met at the main entrance of Vidámpark.

Krisztina, an employee of Vidámpark was already waiting for us with seven free tickets, courtesy of Vidámpark.
Soon Theresa and Kim - teachers at the American International School of Budapest, charged by their students to grant Vanessza’s wish - arrived as well. They presented Vanessza with a huge poster, prepared by the students.

After happily admiring her card, Vanessza was ready to head over to the first ride, the dodgem. After that came the cave ride, the jungle ride, the mirror labyrinth, and many more. Her favourite was the jungle ride, she made it three times. Norbi was very brave and adventurous and tried all the scary flying rides.

The day flew by way too quickly, and it was almost time to leave, when Norbi finished with a last ride on the dodgem. Then we wank over to the pony park, where Vanessza enjoyed a ride on a very cute pony. Exhausted from all the fun we finally sat down at a nearby restaurant to finish the day off with a delicious dinner.

We would like to thank Krisztina one more time for being so nice and helpful and for making this day extra special for everybody.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the management and staff of the Budapesti Vidám Park Zrt. and the pupils and teachers of the American International School of Budapest for making Vanessza's wish granting so unforgettable.

János (13 years old, Miskolc)



János is 13, and his favourites are locomotives and the railway.
He’d like to become an engine-driver one day. János wishes to see locomotives, to visit railway stations where engines come and go, to see lots of rails, but the real dream, his “big-biggest dream” of all, as he puts it, is to drive a locomotive.

And a dream came true again.

We arranged a meeting with Janesz’s mother at the Tiszai Railway Station, in Miskolc. Little did he know about the reason why he was travelling to Budapest. It was Budapest indeed, as we had been planning Janesz’s wish with Csodalámpa for weeks, which was to get him to the Museum of Railway History to see engines and to be able to actually drive one.

“Uncle Steve,” a Csodalámpa volunteer, was waiting for us at the Keleti Railway Station, and took us to the Ferencváros shunting yard, where Janesz had the chance to admire all of the passenger and cargo trains and the many rails crossing each other at the station. Seeing all these miracles, he looked down from the overpass staring at the endless fields of rails. That’s why he was shocked when an engine which was passing below the overpass blew its whistle!

He fell upon Uncle Steve’s neck in fear.
It was then when he confessed his long-held dream of blowing a locomotive whistle!

Leaving the wonder of the overpass behind us, we then went into a workshop where trains are repaired.
The boy was welcomed warmly, and he was clearly amazed at the sight. He liked the workshop itself and the workers as well.

We went to another place, where, according to Janesz, the trams “sleep”. It was the Ferencváros Tram Shed.
By this time, he was very happy and was thanking us for bringing him to such magnificent places.

The real surprise was yet to come!
We took a taxi and went to the Museum of the Railway History with him and his mother.

The little boy just stood there with his mouth open at the sight of those locomotives and almost cried when he was put into one of the engines, which he could actually drive. Finally, a long-held dream came true: the young engine-driver managed to sound a train’s whistle.

They allowed him to do it despite it being prohibited because of the people living nearby!
But seriously, with Csodalámpa... ! Even us adults stood there tearfully when Janesz got down from the engine.
The day’s schedule was not over yet though.

After lunch, in the Museum of Scale Models, Janesz looked at the books on locomotives with interest and desire.
And Csodalámpa couldn’t let him leave with empty hands; he happily cuddled the gift books and DVD.
We did some rail biking later on. Janos couldn’t take part in pushing the railcar, which operates through man power, but wanted to give a hand to Uncle Steve, who was struggling with the connecting-rod.

After this, we climbed up onto each and every locomotive and travelled on the museum’s small train as well, which was quite fun.
It was good to see this little boy gathering all of his strength, defeating his inhibitions, and climbing into the locomotives, not paying any attention whatsoever to the fact that his hands and clothes had become covered with black oil.
He was scared, he later admitted! He was scared of heights, and scared of falling off. But at the sight of every single locomotive, he managed to get up from his wheelchair, ready for a new adventure.

We said good bye to the Museum, with time left over, before going home. Uncle Steve had one more surprise for Janesz.
He showed the little boy the House of Parliament, and took the metro underneath the Danube to the Buda side.
The boy enjoyed taking the escalator very much, and could not resist trying to look cool while getting on and off.
Nothing was forbidden for him, yet we adults had to watch him even more closely. This was true for the whole day.

At the end of the day, Janesz couldn’t stop thanking us for making his “biggest dream” a reality, and in addition, for giving him so many experiences.

Dear János, We hope that by making your “big-biggest dream” come true, Csodalámpa was able to give you many lovely hours and nice memories. We who carried out your wish thank you for the time we were able to spend with you and that we were able to be a part of your joy, your smile and your happiness.

We thank the management of the Museum of Railway History for letting us use the facility for free, turning Janos’s dream into reality.

Dalma (16 years old, Siófok)

Dalma waited for her Paris travel very much.
After arrival on Thusday we went immediately to the Concord Square and later we walked along Champs Elysees. French people were sitting and drinking coffee on the terraces of coffee bars and restaurants at 11 o'clock in the evening. They enjoyed the last warm summer evenings at the end of September.
We also enjoyed the atmosphere of the Parisian bustle of the streets. It was so on the following two days, too.

We started the next day at the Eiffel-Tower. The "Old Lady" was amazing! We went on foot from here to the Museum Louvre. We went from one gallery into the next where we admired the famous and less famous paintings.
We did not stop although we were very tired. We sat down for a short time in front of Mona Lisa and Venus of Milo. They were fantastic!

/ 4



The Arc de Triomphe and the Notre Dame remembered us Victor Hugo. Panthéon with Victor Hugo's and Zola's resting-places fastinated us. We should mention the fantastic Sacré-Coeur and the beautiful palaces and churches, too.

We did not miss the world famous Lafayette Department Store. We made a short walk there. We tasted the French cuisine naturally. We found very good restaurants in the Latin quater.

We returned home with a heavy heart on the third day. I am sure Dalma will return again to Paris.

Dalma's wish was fulfilled from the benefit of our Grant-A-Wish Kitchen program.
Thanks for the support of Libri kft. and Libri Publishing Co., and that of Budapest Marriott Hotel.
Dalma says thanks to everybody who helped her realising her dream.

Tamara Boglárka (16 years old, Gyöngyössolymos)

I met Tamara and her mother at the Liszt Ferenc airport on the 21st of September, and I immediately knew the trip was going to be unforgettable.

We went through the security gates and waited for the plane’s departure. Tamara and her mother took pictures of every plane that passed by because as I later found out both of them were a huge fans of flying, so for them the flight itself was already amazing.

When we arrived at London Luton airport, we could feel the cold autumn air, so we decided to take a „classical” English taxi to our hotel. We arrived late at night so we decided to keep our energy for the following day and for of course the concert. We started our day with a big English breakfast, and then headed towards the Big Ben and London eye.

In the afternoon we went back to the hotel to take a short nap and to refresh our self before the big event.

There was a warm up band which itself was fantastic, but when Avril Lavigne came on stage the atmosphere was unbelievable. We were very pleased because luckily she played many of her older songs, so after a while we stud up and danced together, while singing all the lyrics of the songs. Later that night we got home nearly at midnight and went to bed absolutely exhausted.

The following day also brought great experiences, we went to the Madame Tussaud wax museum were naturally we took pictures of every single famous person, then spent the afternoon window shopping on Oxford street, and finally had a wonderful tea in a restaurant on Trafalgar square.

On the following day unfortunately we had to go to the airport so we could only view the city from the bus and train. Overall I can only say what a wonderful and memorable four days we spent in London, while Tamara`s dream came true, because she got to go to her favourite singer Avril Lavigne`s concert! It gave me great joy to see Tamara`s happiness and enthusiasm.

Rita Erzsébet (9 years old, Tatárszentgyörgy)



Rita and her mother arrived to Budapest from Tatárszentgyörgy. Rita’s face showed only interest and anticipation and there was no trace of the tiredness from the early rise. Thus, we went from the bus terminal straight to Budaörs Airport.

Our pilot had not yet arrived, and thus we had time for a thorough look at a repair shop. Nearly the whole history of flying was crammed into the small hangar, from open cockpit biplanes to little two-person helicopters. Of course, most of the aircraft were modern small airplanes.

There were some planes on display outdoors as well, and the cockpit of one of them had been converted into a snack bar. Since it was closed, Rita was only able to look inside through the window; she saw beer bottles at the place where the flight instruments had been.

Gábor Földvári, the pilot who had kindly offered us the opportunity to fly, arrived after a short while. He checked the plane quickly but thoroughly. Then the passengers got in and we took off, beginning our flight toward Budapest. From up high we saw the Parliament building and the bridges on the Danube. Flying above the bend of the river, we looked down and saw the small houses in Szentendre and Visegrád, and then the plane flew back to Budaörs via Solymár.

Rita and her mother got out of the plane with smiles on their faces – they were enriched by a great experience. Furthermore, Gábor Földvári was happy to show the details of his plane (a Zlin 43 manufactured in the Czech Republic) to Rita, who has a keen interest in technology.

The flying adventure ended with a lunch, but Rita’s enthusiasm seemed limitless. She kept retelling her experiences over and over again, and she most likely continued doing so until the bus took her and her mother back to their home.

We would like to express our gratitude to the West-End Air Team for their kind support.

Ágoston (9 years old from Zalaegerszeg)

Ágoston wanted to get a netbook from the Wonder Lamp. He did not think that the present would be given him on a golf court while some golf playing people and children of the Wonder Lamp were a standing ovation.

On this day there was the II. golf charity day of the Wonder Lamp which was organised by the Zsira Sonnengolf Club.

The netbook was the present of Abakusz Számítástechnika whose manager Mrs Virágné Mozsolits Klára gave Ágoston the netbook.

After giving the surprise to Ágoston there was a game where Ágoston made fantastic shows with his wheelchair.

Benjamin (10 years old, Heves)



Benjamin had to wait in the Tűzoltó street Clinic for a long time till it was his turn. There was a so called „csocso” table football in the great hall. He liked to play with this game. His wish was to the Wonder Lamp Foundation to get this toy.

We managed to surprise him with the help of his parents. When I arrived at their house Benyus it is his nickname was a little bit shy. He did not understand why a strange man had appeared there.

It turned out in a short time why I was there. When he glimpsed the toy he began to smile. It was a really great surprise for him. He wanted to set up it immediately because he likes do it yourself.

We hope this present will give you a great pleasure.

Dániel Zsolt (6 years old, Dad)


This time two brothers – one of our regular supporters – made a wish come true. We were really excited when the small team travelled to our destination on an especially sweaty and gloomy summer day. The children playing football in the garden immediately stopped playing and came to welcome us.

Dani was very patient, but obviously he could not wait to see his present. Until the electronic car was being made up, Dani counted its wheels and asked the name of all equipment and functions and he could not wait to try it. Even though he had to wait one more day because the car needed recharging, Dani was extremely happy and he seemed such a nice boy.

Dani expressed his feelings by coming close to us, sitting in our lap, holding our hands, as if we were old friends. It was wonderful to see when he generously shared his happiness with his younger brother, showing him the car and its functions. Even though Dani is a short boy, he has an enormous heart.

We wish him all the best and we hope he will get better very soon!




Thank you for Miklós and Tibor Baán for their help!

Ricsi’s dream was to diving in the sea and he wanted to know what kind of life is under the water.
Sára found his wish, and she decided to make his dream true with her family in July 2011.

Sára and her father are waited for us in Senj’s village and helped us to find the accommodation. Later we met with them in the diver base again. After we arrived to the accommodation, we immediately took out the swimming dresses and we went to the sea. Everybody loved the small beautiful bay and Ricsi, who was first time at the sea, tasted the salty water with his wicked eyes.

Next day was the diving. Sára was a great help with the clothing who is one of the crew, and Ricsi’s new friend.

During the diving they often talked together, and swam in the sea. They got every support about the rules for underwater, gear and other useful information about the diving, and then they went back to the adventure. Ricsi and he’s parents were with a small fear and big excitement, and they viewed the event from the beach. They relieved when they saw their child again a half an hour later.

We were listening Ricsi’s enthusiastic story about his experience under the water and his blue eyes were sparkled. The next day they were diving again but they had some technical problems but the experience was unforgettable.


Thank you for this wonderful four days in Senj with the offer of GALATHEA Diving Club

Olívia with her mother and Mr. Balázs Sternóczky, sales and marketing director of Hotel Azúr



Olívia came to the Csodalámpa Foundation with a specific wish: she wanted to have a holiday with her mother at the largest wellness and conference hotel in the Balaton region, the 4-star Hotel Azúr in Siófok.

Her mother Szilvia told me that Olívia spends a lot of her time browsing on the Internet. She had specific criteria in the search for the ideal hotel. She decided for Hotel Azúr because she wanted to make sure they wouldn’t be bored even if the weather wasn’t nice. Hotel Azúr offers lots of fun even for rainy days with its water slides, spa and sauna, various recreational and sports facilities and kids’ programmes.

Olívia is one of the top students in her class and she likes sport and exercise a lot. To fight her illness she needs to exercise regularly. She tried out the Hotel’s gym and the mini disco but what she liked most was the wellness centre. She is a good swimmer - she started taking swimming lessons when she was in nursery - so she didn’t mind the slightly cooler water of the outdoor pool at all - she swam in it every day.

Olívia praised the Hotel’s cuisine and their comfortable room, and despite the presence of two of the hotel’s staff, she even admitted trying out bouncing on the bed. "It was really bouncy", she said, with a mischievous smile.

I am very happy to have met Olívia, who is a charming and kind girl, blessed with a wonderfully good sense of humour and self irony, which one doesn’t often find in children this young.

Dear Olívia, I hope you stay as cheerful and open as you are now and that you will get well soon!




Many thanks to Hotel Azúr for making Olivia's and her mother's perfect holiday possible

and thanks to the Csodalámpa Foundation for helping fulfil Olívia's dream.

Balázs (8 years old, Mátészalka)



We were very excited and looking forward to visiting Legoland, since none of us had been there before. Balázs fought his illness like a hero and so at last his dream came true. Balázs’s mother Anikó accompanied him of course.

We set off on July the 21st at 8 o’clock from the parking of IKEA on Őrs vezér square, and planned to arrive to Günzburg at 4 o’clock that day, where the hotel Arcadia awaited us.

When – a few hours and a good 550 kms later - we crossed the Austrian-German border I could feel the tension growing in the car since Günzburg by then was only two hours away. We arrived at the hotel and after unpacking we took a short tour around the city discovering all the sites. We went to bed soon, because the following morning we planned to arrive to Legoland for opening.

When we got out of the car and Balázs saw the huge LEGOLAND Deutschland sign he was very happy. His dream finally became true!

Entering Legoland we were speechless: where to go first? And what to do? Anywhere we looked there were new and new attractions.
It was hard to decide who was more excited: Balázs or the grown-ups?
Then we took the roller coaster. What looks steep from under looks even steeper from the top. Although it was a bit stomach-turning it was a lot of fun, but even funnier were the pictures, that the secret built-in camera made.

After that we went through many games, exhibitions and we even built LEGOs, and yes, it is true what the sign says: „Ein Tag ist nicht genug” meaning, one day is not enough.
By the end of the first day every single drop of our energy ran out, so falling asleep wasn’t a problem.

We started the next day with renewed energy, and couldn’t wait for another adventure. This day we went through all the games again and also tried the pirate ship, and all the different "machines".

I was very happy to see how much Balázs enjoyed the park, and to see another child’s wish come true.

We are also very grateful for Balázs, that we could live through this „adventure” with him, we were all very touched by the 4 days we spent together.

Get well the soonest, Balázs!

Réka (15 years old, Szigetszentmárton)

Réka’s wish fulfillment was the 1527th and probably one of the most exciting: she dreamed to „meet and greet” her most favorite actor Mr. JOHNNY DEPP.

When we received her request, we were "just a little bit” frightened, whether we can do it at all (and how?!?). To cut it short it took us more than a year and lots of work of many kind persons to organise everything.

At last - thanks to her doctors and our sponsors - we could fly with Réka and her mum to London.
The last medical checks of Réka were not too promising, so her doctors were a bit uncertain, but they gave the green light in the end with one condition: the following day of her flight home she should have new and serious tests at the hospital.

We arrived in rainy weather but so we landed under a rainbow: a beautiful greeting from England to Réka, ending her first ever flight splendidly.

Thanks to the management of Art’Otel Budapest, the Hungarian member of the Park Plaza Chain we could stay at one of the most beautiful hotels, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in the heart of the city. Somehow the staff learnt who Réka was and they were even kinder to her.

/ 14



We first toured the city of course for hours for Réka's pleasure.
Then the following day Réka met Mr. Depp at the Pinewood Studios. Mr. Depp was very kind and talked to Réka several times during his busy day.

In order to publish a more detailed report and photos from the meeting we have asked and are waiting for the permisson of Mr. Depp and his management.



In the name of Réka we would like to thank Mr. Johhny Depp, for having realised this very special, thought impossible wish of a 16 years old Hungarian girl. We are greatful to Mssrs. Andy G. Vajna and Péter Rudolf for their kind assistance, for all the British, American and Hungarian colleagues, especially for Sarah, Victoria, Nicky, Nathan, Mr. Zanuck and Ágnes for organising so many things for Réka.
Many thanks for the sponsorship of Art’Otel Budapest and Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, where the management and staff did everything to make our stay most pleasant.
Last but not least many thanks for MALÉV and their frequent flyer Duna Club members who donated their bonus points for Csodalámpa, making this „kind of magic” happen.

There were a lot of ill kids this year who wanted the visit the Formula 1 car racing but Noémi was the only whose condition allowed her to go there. Her wish was from the Wonder Lamp to go there and meet a famous pilot. As always we asked the Hungaroring Sport Zrt. to help us. We have got super good seats from them in a short time.

The visiting of the box street was the previous day so Noémi and her family spent two days in Budapest in the Art'Otel Hotel where they got a reduced room. After arriving at the hotel they had to go to the Hungaroring within a short time.

Thank to the Red Bull Team Noémi had the opportunity to go to the box street and to meet Mr Mark Webber, Mr Schumacher and Mr Alonso. She was in floodlight a lot of photos have been taken about her and the pilots. This could be seen on TV, as well.

The really car racing was on the following day, which Noémi enjoyed very much although it was very noisy. She was very proud to meet these famous people personally.




We thank for the tickets to Mr Gyulay Zsolt who is the chairman of Hungaroring Zrt.

Thanks for the excellent accommodation to Ms Manuela Pellegrini who is the director of Art'Otel Budapest HR.

Thanks to Ms Nagy Bernadett and her colleagues, in order to organise the visiting of the box street and the meeting of the pilots.

Zoltan (12 years old, Debrecen)

Until the last days of July the „two” Zoltans didn’t know each other, all they knew was that they both adored Lego toys. Naturally both boy wished for a trip to Legoland.

We set off in unusually cold weather to Legoland near Günzburg. Luckily in Germany nice weather greeted us, we could say that this was the way the „powers above” contributed to fulfilling the dreams of the two boys.

Between the many-many games it was very hard to decide what to do. Either to go fishing, try darts, go sliding, go to the circus or which roller coaster to try first. So we decided to try everything after each other.

After going through the miniature world – including the Castle of Neuschwannsteint, that contains over 1,2 million Lego pieces - we took a trip on the „Venice gondola” the „Viennese giant wheel”, teh Allianz Arena and also watched a show in the park’s newest attraction, the Chinese circus. In the circus many artists dazzled us and we were astonished by the magical show.

After the show and dinner, the children carried on playing and we could leave the park only late evening. At the end of the day we tried the water games too, from where nobody escaped without getting wet...

To make the trip even more memorable the two Zolis got new Lego presents as well: Harry Potter and Star Wars heroes will always remind them of this wonderful day.

Thank you for the help and support of the FŐTAXI management, especially for Sándor Tihanyi who personally came with us on this long trip, of The Merlin Entertainment Group Merlin's Magic Wand and naturally for all the other sponsors who helped us fulfill another wish.

Balázs (9 years old, Vác)

Balázs’s favorite game is PlayMobil. Then, he found out that there is a massive theme park full of PlayMobil… His wish was explicit: „I would like to go to the Playmobil park next to Nuremberg”.

To be honest we didn’t even know that there was a Playmobil park in Germany.
We were looking forward to the trip, only Balázs was more excited. We traveled for almost a day, during which Balázs now and then asked: „are we there yet?”…
Balázs was very curious, what are the toys going to be like? Are they going to smile? How tall will they be?
Then the long awaited day arrived.

The games and toys exceeded our expectations. Time passed by quickly, one minute we were fighting the dinosaurs, then we had to capture a medieval castle, after we had to save our boat from the attack of pirates, witch was not easy because we had to walk on a suspension bridge and paddle in a raft, when finally we thought we would be able to have a rest, it was still not over, beacuse, then we had to search for gold, and Balázs even tried the mini golf court.

Balázs gave a long account of his experience int he Playmobil park for his family, and for „proof” he even got a few new games from us as well.
We believe that Balázs will remember this happy and joyful day forever.

Thank you for the help and support of the management of FŐTAXI , especially for Sándor Tihanyi who personally came with us on this long trip and naturally for all the other sponsors who helped us fulfill this special wish.

A handwritten report from Balázs:


Zoltán (10 years old, Sármellék)

Until the last days of July the „two” Zoltans didn’t know each other, all they knew was that they both adored Lego toys. Naturally both boy wished for a trip to Legoland.

We set off in unusually cold weather to Legoland near Günzburg. Luckily in Germany nice weather greeted us, we could say that this was the way the „powers above” contributed to fulfilling the dreams of the two boys.

Between the many-many games it was very hard to decide what to do. Either to go fishing, try darts, go sliding, go to the circus or which roller coaster to try first. So we decided to try everything after each other.

After going through the miniature world – including the Castle of Neuschwannstein, that contains over 1,2 million Lego pieces - we took a trip on the „Venice gondola” the „Viennese giant wheel”, teh Allianz Arena and also watched a show in the park’s newest attraction, the Chinese circus. In the circus many artists dazzled us and we were astonished by the magical show.

After the show and dinner, the children carried on playing and we could leave the park only late evening. At the end of the day we tried the water games too, from where nobody escaped without getting wet...

Tilla (5 years old, Debrecen)

Tilla is a very communicative and open-hearted five and a half year old girl who asked for a Playmobil Pyramid.
"You can find so many treasures in this pyramid; this is why I like it. I wanted to visit a place full of treasures before I fell ill" she said.

Tilla is still in hospital, so Mr Attila T. and I visited her there, because he really wanted to make Tilla happy until the treatment is over.

As soon as Tilla saw the huge box, she got very excited and immediately wanted to have a look at the pyramid with the treasures she was dreaming about. However the pyramid will not be built up until she gets home in a few days, she has immediately got hold of the treasures.


We wish you lots of delightful moments with your pyramid, Tilla dear!




A big thank you to Mr Attila T. for fulfilling Noémi’s wish!
