How ABBA Came To Be

Two months went by quickly; too short a time for me to really grasp some things, yet long enough to realize others. The time has come to go home, I say goodbye to the children at the centre. For the last time I hold the newborn baby girl in my arms that I rocked for an entire night at the hospital, when death seemed sure to snatch her away. I embrace the blind woman from whom I learned so much, and leave her with a promise: “I don’t know how, but in some way, I will help you” …

Excerpt from the dairy of Daniela Abruzzi, written during her first visit to the Hagar Project in Cambodia in 1995.

One year later, ABBA was born.
