 Mother Teresa did many things to help others. She taught lepers how to bathe and bandage sores, use medicine, and perform minor surgery. Lepers are people who suffer from leprosy, a bacterial disease that attacks the skin. Those skills really helped the lepers to survive. Mother Teresa taught geography, history, and English to a Catholic High School for 15 years. Later that year, she started an informal school for orphan children. At first, the school had 5 students. After a short period of time, the school had almost 30 children and people started donating chalk, a chalkboard, and seats. Mother Teresa thought that everyone should be treated equal. She hated to see a person being hurt or being mocked because of their color. She tried to help everyone that she could, and she helped a lot of people during her lifetime. The things that Mother Teresa did helped people survive because she taught them valuable life skills. She taught the lepers how to bandage their sores so that they wouldn't get infected. When she taught at that Catholic High School, she helped the students learn geography, history, and English. She helped many people who some people ignored. She was named "Saint of the Gutters" because of what she did for the poor. media type="youtube" key="eH7lz9wcHHs" height="355" width="425"
