We are always anxious to know that we hand over our presents at the right moment and the right place.

On this Monday morning (29.3.2010.)somebody else was also anxiously waiting: 9 year old Borsos Norbert who kept asking when his wish was to come true. Our colleagues at the clinic hadn’t revealed anything about the preparations until the Wonderlamp team had gathered in the „wish-fulfilment prepatation center”, that is Lengyel Andrea’s tiny office. This is where we try out all the technical equipments before handing them over to make sure they work. This is where the Czutor Zoli band had tuned the guitars before handing them over to Huba.

The wish this time was not a laptop or a guitar. The weight of the present isn’t small, we hope its healing and joy-bringing effect will be enormous.

When we entered Norbi’s ward at the Szeged Children’s Clinic he was watching TV. We didn’t want to disturb him. But then he turned round and smiled at us .

Norbi was still sitting on his bed when we put his „wish” an X-BOX on his lap. He explained to us what it was for ( to me it looked more like a DVD-player –PC mixture). His excitement grew when 2 games to be put into this X-BOX at home emerged from the package. (Norbi seems to be going home soon.) In the meanwhile Norbi’s grandmother had arrived ,too.

I asked the feted to take a photo of us all if by chance he knew something about these machines, too. Norbi hastily got out of bed admitting that he doesn’t know these kinds of cameras yet but a few seconds later he was happily taking photos of all these known and unknown people eagerly watching on his wishes.


Thank you for the photo, Norbi. May you use the WONDERBOX in good health.

Feri came to the department for a treatment so he wasn’t too happy. He was just occupying his bed when I-together with my little helper, Hanna-stepped in the ward. We got him to smile at us and then we came up with our surprise.He didn’t have to be asked to smile any more, he smiled by himself.


May you use it in good health, Feri.


Thank you.

Noémi wished to have a camera.

Once we arrived at the clinic, she had a bad mood as her lab results became worse. Once she realized we’ve arrived she became very happy and was pleased to take over the presents.

She opened the camera and has immediately tried it. We took some photos, too. It was very nice to see her happiness!

We wish you to get well as soon as possible and we wish you can prepare lots of nice photos.

Many thanks to E.ON Hungary Zrt for their support!

Elizabeth is 17 years old and really would like to drive the family car but to do so she needs a driving license.

We received the wish in autumn but waited for the spring and good weather so she started the driving course in April.

We asked Elizabeth to inform us when she passes the exams and receives the license.

We wish her success in the name of the foundation!

Many thanks to E.ON Hungary Zrt for their support!

János has recently been admitted to the Children’s Haematology and Oncology Department of the Debrecen University. The diagnosis got him down and he also had a hard time with the initial treatment.

I was thinking how I could cheer him up and Wonderlamp occurred to me. I told him about the Foundation which was soon followed by a wish. A PS3!

Good luck with it, Jani!

Many thanks to E.ON Hungary Zrt for their support!

Balázs wished to watch an FC Barcelona game with her sister, Marcsi. After lot’s of arrangements and despite of the volcano’s activity we finally got to Barcelona. On the first day we visited the stadium and the Barca museum, both of these were great experiences for all of us especially for Balázs. We also bought some hooters and scarves and planned the following day while having our dinner.

Saturday morning and early afternoon we made a tour in the city and visited Park Guell, the Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Casa Batlo and Casa Amattler. After that we arrived to the stadium among the first visitors. After a while the stadium was full, the atmosphere was beyond expression and the big game started. Finally Barcelona won so we were really happy.


After these beautiful days we really didn’t want to come home and we think Barcelona also wanted us to stay as our plane was delayed…

After the game we went to the seaside Balázs also had a little swim in the ice cold water. It was a great experience to see the joy of the 2 kids. We said goodbye with the hope of seeing each other again but in mind we are still in Barcelona.

Many thanks to CIB Bank for their support!

Patrik is a lively, smiling kid who has thought a lot before making this wish. He has never really been on holiday with his mother, so it was with anxiety he prepared for this holiday in BOBO-land! Huge efforts were made to make this dream come true.


The Family Care Center in Hódmezővásárhely helped with transportation, many thanks for that.
Patrik and his mother spent three unforgettable days in this child-paradise and returned filled with memories.



We thank to Hotel Kolping for the accommodation. With their help we were able to make the dream of a small child come true for the second time.

Little Kornél is a real artist, he is fond of drawing, he likes tales and music, so during our discussion I thought he would ask for a drawing set or a CD from the Jinn of the Wonder Lamp. I was really surprised that his wish was a serious Thomas railway station.
The always playfully smiling little boy accurately explained what the railway station should be looked like, what kind of people should be waiting for the arriving trains. He also told us that after the poor engine got tired during its long journey, it should have a rest in a good place where it wouldn’t get wet and it could sleep a lot.


Jinn tried to find out whether such a real, complete Thomas railway station with a service area could be bought. It turned out soon, that Kornélka gave us a professional description of the toy, he had longed for. So the engine and the small train could leave the toy store. Along its way passengers were taken up and finally the train arrived with a loud hooting to Tűzoltó Street Clinic, where the elegantly dressed Kornélka spent his one-day medical treatment.


It was a big surprise when the little boy saw the present. Certainly, all passengers greeted the new, young station-master. Thomas engine hooted a big in honour of the new manager, and then it could push along with the passengers to the next station.



Afterwards little Kornél, as the manager of the whole railway company, thought that Thomas had got tired because of the long journey, so it was high time to have a rest. He pushed the engine in the engine-shed and said good night.


Soon after I also said good bye to the small boy, who had got a little bit tired because of the treatment and the playing. On departure I asked him for a kiss but he looked at me with his playful smile and told me that he was out of it, it had been taken by the cat. It happens… all right, I will ask for some extra kisses next time.

We would like to thank to PannErgy Nyrt for their support, since with their help another child’s wish could come true.

We saw Daniel and his sister as they were standing on the road and waiting for us. The big gate was open and they were waving, that we should park in. By the time we parked the whole family was standing outside and smiling because they knew Daniel’s wish had arrived, the computer. The children helped to carry the computer in. They fixed the brand new machine together next to an old, small efficiency methuselah.

Daniel was over the moon when he saw the huge LCD monitor, and he tried it out straightaway. Because he has not got internet access yet, he asked me to say thank you to all the founders. The parents promised Daniel as soon as the internet is available in their street, he will also have access to it.

We also suprised Daniel with the Wonderlamp t-shirt. He said this was going to be his favorite shirt, and that he’s going to wear this for the medical checkups as well.

Today it was especially good to be a member of the Wonderlamp Foundation. To see the big happiness of not only Daniel but the whole family was incredible. That computer is in the best possible place ever, the family because of their bad circumstances could not have afforded it.

Thank you for the help and support of the EON Hungária Zrt.!

On 15 April 2010 Angéla received a sparkling phone set from Wonderlamp. It does sparkle like a jewel and is as much as good for skiing but this only turned out later.

While Ági Tatár wish-coordinator and Angéla’s mother were doing the paperwork in the phone shop, Angéla was having a salad (not to salty, of course, because of her kidney) with tea. She could hardly wait to hold her present! She spoke about her kitty that is so white that it cannot be seen in snow and told that the most she would like to listen to music on her new phone.

Angéla was awesome; she showed the shop assistant how to put on the phone cover, saw through the menu, took pictures and had a great time.

We somehow managed to walk over to a nearby pastry shop without Angéla taking her eyes off of the screen of the new pink phone! That was where she learned that there was a skiing game on the phone! Her mother and we watched her face changing while she was having a jump on the snowboard slope or fell in the snow. But the most uplifting moment was her calling daddy on the new cell.

We hope that this phone matching a princess will be health-giving!

Many thanks for Ildikó Mátics Závecz to make a big smile on this little girl's face.

Today a bike with safety accessories was given to Ricsi by us. He was very happy. As he admired with bright eyes out of the ward, while we were wheeling the bicycle in the corridor, he immediately knew that his wish had come true.


Although handover took place in the hospital and Ricsi was on infusion, it couldn’t stop him testing the new bike on the spot, right in the corridor. His mother running after him with the infusion tried to keep pace with the young sportsman.


Besides the bicycle, the safety accessories and some small presents, we also gave Ricsi a photo of the members of Vodafone Hungary – Systems to see the team who provided money for the presents.


Thank you for the opportunity and your assistance to choose the present and organize the handover. It was the first time that we could see happiness of a child due to the fact that our team fulfilled a wish but we hope that happy smile of Ricsi will be followed by other grateful faces.





Thanks to this team for helping us to make a smile on a child’s face again.

We had a meeting with the German teacher at Klaudia’s home in the afternoon on 9th of April. I had arrived earlier in order to meet Klaudia and her family. She was enthusiastic and very excited. It was a sign of her kindness that she was waiting for us with her own making sweets.

Nowadays Klaudia’s hobby has been making pastries. She has serious plans for the future but due to the disease her mobility is rather limited at the moment. In this situation it is a big help for her that she has an opportunity to improve her foreign language knowledge at home.

First meeting became the first language lesson and the schedule was discussed for the next months - lessons will be on Wednesdays and Fridays.

After the meeting on Friday we got the information from the parents that teacher had been very satisfied with Klaudia. This pep and encouragement do well to Klaudia.

Thank you for the support of E.ON Hungária Zrt
with which we could put another smile on a child’s face.

On the evening of March 20th 2010 Donát's wish came true at last. He could fly to Dortmund (Germany) to watch live a football match of Borussia Dortmund.

On Friday we flew from Budapest to Dortmund. It was a beautiful day so we had a great view of the city from the sky.
When he arrived he went for a walk around the city. There are lots of local fans of the team so we were not surprised that there were Dortmund relics in lots of shops. By the time we arrived at the hotel Donát had a real yellow and black Borussia Dortmund scarf. Later on we decided to eat a pizza and as I realised that this was Donát’s favourite food we headed to a nice italian restaurant. We went to bed quite early as we were tired from the trip and we had to save our energy for the big day. Saturday we had breakfast in our four star hotel and then went sightseeing. Though there was a slight drizzle it did not bother us while we wandered downtown and walked along the cute tiny streets.

We saw lots of fans and even more shops with Dortmund’s gifts. When we got hungry we ate a kebab at a restaurant where all the other customers were Dortmund fans. Nearly the whole city was preparing itself for the game. Before we headed to the stadium I "had to" hand over to Donát the present of the German Wünsch Dir Was eV. foundation. The name means "wish something"; they are doing the same as Csodalámpa and they have already helped us on previous wish grantings in Germany.
They not only gave us 3 tickets for the game but they sent a Dortmund football strip which was signed by all the players of the team.
Donát was really surpised by the present and he wore it proudly during the game.

At the stadium there was a huge queue outside but we passed it pretty quickly and took our place on the east side, a little bit left from the goal.
There was a frantic ambiance and 80.100 spaectators were following the game live in the stadium. Dortmund was playing against Leverkusen which team is only one place ahead in the ranking, so we hoped to have a really exciting game.
There were no goals in the first half though the game itself was really exciting. The second half was more interesting as Dortmund - with the Hungarian Hajnal Tamás playing - scored 3 goals right in front of us. Donát will always remember the fans and their happiness as Dortmund won.

On Sunday morning we relaxed and after lunch we headed to the airport. We talked a lot about the game we saw the night before and we can say that we have unforgetable memories from the game.

This wish was granted thanks to the generous support of CIB Bank Zrt. and the Wünsch Dir Was eV.. We would like to thank you in the name of Donát too.

On the day of our meeting at the Children’s Clinic, Virág arrived with her mother for the control examinations. She welcomed us with interest, and although she already knew I was bringing her present, she was extremely happy. She opened the laptop warily.

She received the fulfillment of her wish very modestly, because as she told us she thought a lot about if she really deserved the present or if it would be given to other children who suffered from more serious illnesses! I assured her we chose those children circumspectly whose dreams we fulfilled.

The next thought of Virág was she would too like to help our Foundation with her music knowledge, manual skills and voluntary work because next year she would turn 18 and attend university, and she wanted to requite the present she just got from us.

I reassured her she could help when she had the time and opportunity, and I also talked to her about our Foundation. I saw that knowing she could help as well she accepted the laptop, that would help her studies even more happily. We also found out she was a top class student in contempt of her sickness. She has grave plans about her future and studies.

I was glad to hear that the current medical tests show positive improvement in Virág’s state of health, so later wishing the best I said goodbye to Virág and her mother.




We fulfilled the request with the support of the CIB bank. Thank you!

Patricia arrived for her check-up at the Tűzoltó street Clinic a bit sadly.

For her biggest surprise though in the hall she met the genie of the Wonderlamp Foundation, who asked her what her biggest desire was.

Genie received a quick answer: a pink laptop, and to the little girls astonishment she found herself standing there with a present.

She hardly believed her eyes when she saw the glorious pink machine, which after this was going to be her’s and only her’s.

We were happy as well it was good to see the teenage girl in here pink sweater and glasses so happy!

On the 14th of March, 2010, Tomi’s and Lóránt’s dream has become true: they could watch a Manchester United Premiership match at Old Trafford Stadium. They have wished that from Csodalampa a year ago and they have been extremely excited about the trip since then. The long wait finally paid off; both of them returned with an amazing, life lasting experience from Manchester.


Tomi and Lóránt were accompanied by their fathers, big football fans too, so we set off to England with United shirts and of course Hungarian flags too. After the long journey we arrived to the heart of Manchester and admired the four-star, elegant Marriott Hotel and got some rest to prepare for our fantastic weekend. We would like to thank Dr. Tamás Barabás for waiting at the airport and driving us to the hotel and to everywhere the boys wanted to go.


The next day after having a plentiful breakfast at the cold buffet we went to see the Manchester United museum and the „Theatre of Dreams”, the Old Trafford. After admiring the lots of trophies and medals the football team won we were escorted by an own guide at one of the world’s most beautiful and enormous stadiums. It was a unique experience; we were able to get into the players dressing room and to take some photos in there, and everybody sat into the living legends’, Sir Alex Ferguson’s seat at the bench.


At the end of the stadium tour the boys bought a lot of United relics at the Megastore, starting from the flags and scarves to pens. After having dinner we got up onto the Manchester Wheel from which a wonderful scene unfolded before us. We finished the day with a little wandering around the city centre and went to have some sleep to be fit on the next day, the day of the match between Manchester United and Fulham. The following day was the day when Tomi’s and Lóránt’s dream became reality!
Lots of people was walking on the streets in MU scarves and shirts even in the morning and we could feel how important and traditional the football really is in England and in Manchester.
From little kids to old people everyone seemed to be so excited about afternoon’s game. We sat in our seats in the first row near to a corner-flag (thanks for this perfect place very much!). We could almost touch the training players at the sideline. We could feel the atmosphere of the stadium, joined to the United songs and chants to support the team and celebrated the goals with the fans. I assume that is an experience we will never forget! As the match ended (Manchester United won it of course) the boys had the chance to meet, to have some talk and to take some photographs with Zoltan Gera, a Hungarian player of Fulham’s team. It was an amazing experience to talk with one of the best Hungarian footballers at the moment who was very kind to Tomi and Lóránt.


This fantastic and memorable trip to Manchester finally ended with a little walk in the town and some shopping at the near Trafford Centre.


Lóránt’s and Tomi’s biggest dream has become reality and these days will be a life-lasting, fantastic memory for them!

To organize this wish-fulfillment we needed a lot of help:

We would like to thank the Robert Burns Foundation and Mr. Zoltán Magyar for providing the match tickets for the complex museum and stadium tour and for giving us the chance to have a meeting with Zoltán Gera.


We would like to thank Mr. Phil Down / Manchester United Disabled Supporters Assoc/ for providing us disabled seats for Tomi and his company, his father.


Finally we would like to thank the Marriott Resorts for providing us a perfect accommodation.
Special thanks for the journey:

Lilike is a sweet, active little girl who like riding a bike. Her wish was a scooter!

By conspirating with her mum we arrived as a surprise with the magic machine into the Tűzoltó Street Clinic. Lili welcomed the present in a shy way, constantly hugging her mum.

There were some other children who ringed the bell…. Of course Lilike became interested as well. After we left we found out that Lili was staring her new scooter with happiness, all her shyness was gone as it is seen on the picture.

We wish all the happiness when using the new scooter.

We successfully conspirated with Viki’s mother because she had no idea that she receives a present from Wonderlamp!

However, when Anikó arrived, the transplantation coordinator, there was not anything to hide from Viki she knew why we wanted to meet her at the Transplantation Clinic. We quickly got out the deeply hidden present, Viki’s wish, a Wii game.

The young lady immediately opened the box, and could recognize all the parts of the game like a professional. We found out that the father is hurrying from his workplace to set up the newly received machine.

We wish all the happily spent moments, playing with this game for the family!
Viki’s wish has been granted from the donation of the pupils, parents and teachers of the Budapesti Angol Nemzetközi Iskola.
Thank you for your support!
