Mother Teresa

We are learning about Saints in class.
I enjoyed reading about Mother Teresa.
I found it challenging to put it in my own words.


Mother Teresa.
Mother Teresa was born on 26th August 1910 in Skopje in Kosovo.
At 12 she knew God would help her be a nun. God talked to her. She left her family at 18 to be a nun.
She helped the poor children and helped people less fortunate.
Mother Teresa went to Ireland and then to India. She was a teacher to the poorest girls in India. She learnt two new languages to help teach.  Mother Teresa started a school for girls. She wanted the girls to have a good life and to learn.
Mother Teresa helped the sick children. She started her first charity in 1982. She opened a home called “Gift of love” for sick people in 1971.
God She died of  congestive heart failure.
Mother Teresa was the kindest saint ever.
