A Mother Teresa Protector of the Sick Mothewsome

Mother Teresa Protector of the Sick By: Linda CarlsonThis is a great story I would recommend this but anyone from 8 and older. This book tells you about how someone so little can do something so big. Mother Teresa's first name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Mother Teresa was born in 1910in a city called Skopje. Her mother took care of all the children and her dad was a grocer. At age 12 she first felt desire to belong completely to god. At the age of 18, she went to Calcutta to learn to be a nun, after awhile she felt another calling from god and it was to help others so she left the place to work in the slums of India. Soon others joined her and she made other groups. All of her people helped others, giving them clean places to die, gave all she had and more than others would have. So enjoy this book!
