Missionaries of charity
Mother Teresa of Calcutta was a missionary nun who was one of the greatest humanitarians of the 20th century.
She founded the Missionaries of Charity – a religious organization dedicated to helping the poor.
Through this, she was able to create programs and initiatives that made her an icon of charity around the world.
1955
NIRMALA SHISHU BHAVAN
In 1955, Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity opened Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, the Children’s Home of the Immaculate Heart. It was their first children’s home which cared for orphans.
The center took homeless children and provided them with food, shelter and medical care.
When possible, the children were adopted out.
Those not adopted were given an education, learned a trade skill and found marriages.
SHE SAVED 37 KIDS
The Siege of Beirut took place in the summer of 1982, as part of the First Lebanon War between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
At the height of the siege, Mother Teresa helped evacuate 37 retarded and handicapped children from a mental hospital in the Sabra refugee camp.
She did so by brokering a temporary cease-fire between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerrillas. Accompanied by Red Cross workers, she then traveled through the war zone to evacuate the young patients.
The children were taken to the Spring School in east Beirut, an institution founded by Mother Teresa two years ago.
