Marking her 100th birth anniversary, Discovery channel’s hour long docu-drama explores her life. 1 Mother Teresa left her parents’ home at the age of 18 in September 1918 to pursue her desire to become a missionary. 2 Calcutta’s imposing Victorian architecture tells of a time when it was a royal
residence in the British Empire. But beyond that slums were sprawling. This is where Mother Teresa began her work.
3 In the Mother House in the centre of Calcutta, the young nuns were trained for their duties. Two white Saris, one pair of sandals, a prayer book and a rosary -- these were the missionary's only belongings.
4 When Pope Paul the Sixth came to India, Mother Teresa was too busy to meet him. He recognised her work and gave her his car, a white Lincoln. She auctioned it off to raise funds for the poor.
5 She wanted to establish a house for the dying – to give dignity to slum dwellers in their final hours. Then an official from the health authorities took her to Kalighat, a Hindu temple district in Calcutta. She founded a place here. Nirmal Hriday, Place of the Pure Heart, is the name Mother Teresa gave to it.

Joanna

Well Jo'anna she runs a Home
She runs the home in a PICNIC Spot

She makes all her kids happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all

She's got a system she calls JESUS love

But Jo'anna knows
How everybody could a live as one


Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come





She's got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to the city sun
Jo'anna give them the fancy money
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes
They got a good explanation



Even the preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong

I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drums
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
