Answer:
Mother Teresa and her Sisters began to change the way missionaries worked. They showed the whole world that all people, whether they had a disease, whether they were untouchable, old or poor, were their own people.
Mother Teresa, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 17, 1979, was declared a saint by Pope Francis in 2016. Here, we take a look at how she went beyond her means to help the needy.
By Sonia Mehta
The Sisters working with Mother Teresa led a hard life and she was strict with her nuns. They woke up at the crack of dawn and worked till long after the sun had set and people were asleep everywhere. Lunch was a very simple and quick affair. There was only one source of water at the place they lived. The Sisters would wake up extra early to wash their saris, which were laundered in strict rotation. Three hundred nuns would get up at 4.30 a.m. to do this. Just imagine that! ‘We must spend as much time as possible with the people we are trying to help,’ Mother Teresa would tell the Sisters. She opened a school in Motijhil in Calcutta and the Sisters would spend the day teaching little children, giving them food and looking after them when they were ill. As more and more people joined her, Mother Teresa began to open more schools. People heard of her work and began to come forward to help with land or money. One day, the president of an international business came to see Mother Teresa to offer her a plot of land for her use. Being a businessman, he was curious about how she managed her finances.
