Mother Teresa

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.": Mother Teresa


Mother Teresa, a huminatarian figure, a nobel peace prize laureate, mother of helpless, unloved, uncared... (words feel short to describe her.

She was born in 1910 in Yugoslovakia as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She joined the Sisters of Loreto in 1928. She took the name "Teresa" after St. Teresa of Lisieux, patroness of the Missionaries.

In 1948, she came across an almost half dead woman near Calcutta Hospital. She stayed with her, until she died and then decided to work for Indian women. In 1952, she laid the foundation of "Nirmal Hriday", where she cared for those who were dying because of leprosy, AIDS, or some other deadly disease.
