Mother Teresa was born on the 26th of August 1910, in Skopje which is in Macedonia (today Albania). She came from a wealthy family, and could easily have lived a comfortable life, but she gave it all up to become a Catholic nun and devote her life to the poor. During her lifetime, she had many achievements; here are just some of the awards which she won:
In 1976 she won the Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award ,
In 1979 she was the Nobel Peace Prize Winner,
In 1985 she won the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
In 1992 she won the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education and
In 1997 she won the Congressional Gold Medal.
Mother Teresa devoted her life to helping the poor in Calcutta in India. She was the type of person that cared about other people more that herself. Mother Teresa also helped set up schools for children so they would get some sort of education. Along with schools she helped set up hospitals for the sick, convents, and also an order of nuns called 'The Missionaries of Charity.' Many people believed she lived a Christ-like life, shunning all comforts and working day and night even into her old age to help people with leprosy, AIDS, and other diseases.
she Died on September 5, 1997 in Kolkata
