<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"> Mother Teresa did many things to help others. She started a foundation called Missionaries of Charity. She donated food and clothes to the poor and supplied shelter for them. On September 25, 1928 she headed overseas to help people and live for God. She went to Calcutta in 1929 to begin missionary work among the poor in India. Mother Teresa taught and helped the nurses at a small medical station in northern India. Also, she opened a special school for children who couldn't afford schooling. She worked at this school teaching the children in India how to write the alphabet but most of all she taught them love. Then she left her school and dedicated her life to helping the poorest of the poor. Mother Teresa gained permission to use the back rooms of the temple for shelter. These rooms were shelter for the people dying on the streets. With some of her fellow nuns, she opened a home to care for children. Some children were newborn babies that were left in the street to die. This home was called Shishu Bhavan. Also, she opened new houses to help the poor in countries such as Venezuela, Tanzania, Italy, Australia, Great Britain and even the United States.

At the age of 12, Mother Teresa felt the call of God. She knew that she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. She started the Missionaries of Charity Foundation to love and care for the people who no one looked after. When she founded the shelter for the elderly who were dying, she wanted to show that they should die with some dignity. She opened a home to care for newborn children that were dying on the streets because their parents could not afford to care for them anymore. Also, she saw people were suffering and living in poverty. She wanted to help those that were in need of such care and support.

Mother Teresa helped many people. She cared for the babies that were brought to Shishu Bhavan that were starving and helpless. After one or two weeks of tender love and care, the babies started to smile. She gave people in India food, shelter and education. Many people thanked Mother Teresa for all that she did for their family and friends.

We can learn a lot from Mother Teresa’s lifework.We learned that she was a very kind and loving person. She is a great influence and she brought joy to many sick people. She wanted to bring peace into the world. Mother Teresa cared and helped anybody who was dying. She brought smiles to people’s faces in India and all around the world. She encouraged priests and fellow nuns to join with her and follow God’s love and care.Mother Teresa was a very important part of our past. She brought peace and happiness in the world. She influences many people to care for the sick, poor, and less fortunate than us.
