Mother Teresa was born
in Yugoslavia, on August 27th, 1910. She attended the government
school near her home until she was eighteen. At that time, some doctors and
nurses from Yugoslavia were working in India, and they often wrote to the
school about their work. She decided to join them one day.
When she finished
school, she went first to Britain. Then a year later she went to India, where
she began to train to be a teacher. After training, she was sent to Calcutta,
where she taught geography at a school and soon after became headmistress(女校长).
However, although she
loved teaching, in 1946 Mother Teresa left the school and went to work in the
poor parts of Calcutta. Later she trained to be a nurse in Panta, and then
began her work helping the poor and comforting the dying in the streets of the
city. Slowly, others came to help her, and her work spread to other parts of
India.
Mother Teresa is now a
well-known person. Many photos have been taken of her, as she travels the world
to open new schools and hospitals in poor countries. In 1979, she was given the
Nobel Peace Prize for the lifetime of love and service she has given to the
poor.
