the questions 4 and 5:
Mother Teresa is a dedicated soul
like sister Nivedita. Both of them were originally foreigners but made this
country their home. Mother Teresa was bo in 1910 at Skopje, a small village in
Yugoslavia. Her earlier name was Agnes. At eighteen she decided to become a nun
and so she came to India in 1928 and thereby she became an Indian citizen. Thus
though she was Albanian by chance, she became an Indian by choice. She started
her life in Kolkata as a teacher in a convent school, but soon the mother in
her cried for the suffering of the poor and the down-trodden. Her ‘Nirmal
Hriday’ at Kalighat became the shelter of the sufferers. Her activities have
now been spread all over the world. In 1979, she was awarded the ‘Nobel Prize’
for peace. She was awarded ‘Bharat Ratna Award’ in the year 1980. It is very
interesting to note that even at her very ripe old age she did her work on her

breathed her last on 5th September, 1997 at the age of 87.
