PBS TV Program to Include Baghdad Aid Story

Baltimore, May 16, 2003 — PBS television's "Religion and Ethics Newsweekly" this weekend will include an update on humanitarian work in hidden corners of Baghdad. May 16-18 editions of the PBS program report on the impact of the All Our Children campaign, a million-dollar health initiative for Iraq by mostly faith-based agencies in the U.S.

The story also visits a home for the elderly and a mental hospital receiving gifts from U.S. Mennonite and Lutheran parishes in the wake of post-war looting. Consult local schedules for PBS broadcast times.
