Making A
Difference
The production MAKING A DIF-
:
FERENCE, starring country singer Kenny
Rogers and his wife Marianne, is especially
relevant during this time of thanksgiving. It is
sometimes difficult to comprehend that
hunger and poverty exist and are growing
problems in this “promised land.” Rogers
has used his drawing power to help foster
awareness of the hunger problem in this coun-
try and in the world. He and his wife feel that
every person can be made to care and par-
ticipate in the drive against world hunger.
■
Rogers himself has made appeals to his
concertgoers to bring canned goods to each of
I
his concerts. These goods are distributed in
.
the community from which they are col-
lected.
The concert food, bank is only one level of
the Rogers’ involvement in the hunger pro-
■
.
blem. In 1982, they founded the World Hunger
Media Awards to foster long-term public
education and awareness of the hunger prob-
lem.
The music of Kenny Rogers and of the late
Harry Chapin as well as excerpts from Media
Award Winning productions make for an
entertaining and inspiring program.. This

half-hour show can be seen Wednesday even-

Sister Adrian, The Mother Teresa Of Scranton
The story of Sister Adrian
Barrett as she works
among the poor, the elder
ly, and the young of the
economically depressed
area of northeastern Penn
sylvania is told in a new
PBS documentary, SISTER
ADRIAN, THE MOTHER
TERESA OF SCRAN
TON. The film follows the
“little nun with the big
heart” through the many
critical projects she sup
ports and inspires.
A most appropriate mes
sage to the season, this
story is about giving to
others and the extraor
dinary difference one con
cerned individual can
make. Sister Adrian ex
presses her feelings on the
acts of giving and receiving
SISTER ADRIAN BARRETT is
surrounded by children she helps
send to the summer camp she co
founded. This remarkable nun

in her statement, “ You may
think that, here you are,
coming to heal the world,
and all of a sudden you find
that you are the one being
healed, you are the one that
is led, and you are the one
that is loved.”
This program is a por
trait of an impressive
woman, showing different
aspects of her work, but
capturing her love and
compassion. Sister Adrian
is shown organizing
Thanksgiving dinner and
distributing food to the
needy of her community. In
addition Sister Adrian is
strongly aware of the in
tense loneliness of the
elderly. This documentary
shows Sister Adrian or
ganizing outings for the
elderly and managing the
regular operations of her
senior citizens’ center.
The film records the hap
py faces of children, most of
whom live below the pover
ty level, experiencing the
excitement of summer
camp at Project Hope, one
of the Sister’s special pro
grams. In the final seg
ment, busloads of senior
citizens join the vacation
ing children who touch each
other as only the young and
the old can do.
The program also moves
into the confines of a jail
cell, where 22-year-old
Sharon Stears awaits a
sentence for murder. Sister
Adrian has been a regular
visitor and supporter, con
vinced of her innocence and
offering her hope.

Sheen narrates this award
winning program. A three
time Emmy Award nom
inee, Sheen is known for his
roles in such motion pic
tures as “Apocalypse
Now,” “Ghandi,” and
“Catch 22.”

is without preaching or sen
timentality. It was written
by Nicholas Noxon and Ir
win Rosten and produced
by Jerry Colbert. It airs
Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 10:30
p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 28
