What Is Walk The Wish?

Walk The Wish is an all school
event that began in 2007.

We work with Csodalmpa

Foundation, a Hungarian
organization similar to The Makea-Wish Foundation in the US.

Csodalmpas mission is to
fulfill the wishes of very sick
children fighting life-threatening
illnesses.

Walk the Wish is an all

school
event
which
culminates with a 5 km
walk
in
the
forests
surrounding the school.
Since 2007 AISB students
have
helped
fulfill
51
wishes.
Each division is given
three wishes to fulfill.
To fulfill a wish, students
need to fundraise by
asking to be pledged an
amount of money for
their 5km walk.
There is no minimum or
maximum
pledge.
Everyone gives what they
can.
The event will start on
Friday, September 19 with
a presentation at the ES
Assembly. Students will
get a pledge form in their
homerooms. The Walk will
take place on Thursday,
September 25 @ 4:00pm

Last years walk had more

than 700 participants!
We raised 1,040,000 HUF and
fulfilled 9 wishes.
Students in EC, grade 1 and 2
walk around the track.
Elementary students may
either walk around the
track at school or walk in
the forest.
Elementary students MUST
be accompanied by an adult.
All
participants
are
responsible to make their
own way home after the
event (There is no Sargent
Bus service available).
The Walk is followed by a
community meal hosted by
the PSA in both cafeterias.
Pledge money can be given
to the service coordinators
in each division the week
following the walk.

After
the
Walk,
AISB
Students will often fulfill
the wishes of the children
in person or invite them to
AISB to receive their wish.
In the ES, the Service
Learning Coordinator visits
the children either in their
homes or at the hospital
with representatives of
the
Csodalmpa
Foundation.
Last
year,
AISB
was
honored to receive the
first ever CSODA LMPA
Award given to highlight
the contributions of our
school community to the
CSODALMPA Children. The
award can be seen in the
lobby of building B by the
cafeteria.
