Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia.  She taught geography in St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, India before becoming especially interested in the poorest of the poor.  In 1950 she started her own order, the Missionaries of Charity, dedicated to serving the poor, the sick, and the dying.  Mother Teresa is a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and has inspired millions with her faith and work.
