Mother Teresa is hailed for her relentless work for the welfare of the society and for inspiring countless people across the world. This August 26 marks the 112th birth anniversary of Mother Teresa, who was declared a saint in 2016. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
Early life
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu Skopje, Macedonia, on August 26, 1910, and was always religiously inclined. It was at the early age of 12 that Mother Teresa felt the call of God and decided to become a missionary. She left her parental home in 1928 and went on to join an Irish community of nuns called Sisters of Loreto that had missions in India.
After a few months of training in Dublin, Mother Teresa was sent to India where she taught at a school from 1931 to 1948 in Kolkata, then Calcutta. It is believed that during this time the sight of poverty-stricken people moved her and she decided to devote herself to the upliftment of the destitute.
