Ermonela Jaho on Mother Teresa

from Great Lives · host BBC Radio 4

Since her death in 1997, it's been fashionable in some quarters to decry the work of Mother Teresa among India's poor. Fellow Albanian - opera singer, Ermonela Jaho, offers an alternative view of the nun who dedicated her life to running homes in Calcutta and later around the world, providing food, shelter and care for the poor and dispossessed. Despite her hard-line views on abortion and despite criticism over her dealings with some of the most brutal regimes, Mother Teresa was purely a force for good, argues Ermonela Jaho. Presented by Matthew Parris - with biographer, Anne Sebba.Producer: Maggie AyreFirst broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2017.
