Nikola also was involved in an underground organization that worked to gain independence for the Albanians from the Ottoman Turks, who ruled Macedonia around the time Agnes was born. Agnes grew up around much fighting. When she was born, there were Albanian protests against the Turkish government. When she was two, she witnessed the First Balkan War. In that war, the Ottomans were defeated, but Macedonia was divided among the conquerors: Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegero, and Serbia. The city of Skopje was distributed to Serbia. Albania received its independence in 1912, but Nikola continued his nationalist work. He joined a movement determined to incorporate Serbia into the Albanian nation. In 1914, when Agnes was only four years old, World War I began. In 1918, her father was killed. Some people believe that he was poisoned by enemies. Many people mourned his death because of his kindness and generosity.

In Patna, Sister Teresa learned how to deliver babies, fix broken bones, and she became aware of many common diseases and illnesses. The sisters found that she was a natural at caring for people, and within three months, Sister Teresa set out to help the poor of Calcutta. In Calcutta, she got in touch will Father Van Exem, who would help her find a place to stay. Father arranged for Sister Teresa to stay at St. Joseph’s Home, where a group of nuns called the Little Sisters of the Poor welcomed her gladly. It was hard for Sister Teresa to know where to start helping in such a large city as Calcutta. She began by helping the Little Sisters of the Poor work with elderly people. On December 21, 1948, Sister Teresa finally set out on the streets of Calcutta to start her mission from God. She walked out into the city with a packed lunch, but nothing else.

The amount of poverty in Calcutta grew, and Sister Teresa knew she had to do something more. Since she did not have any money, Sister Teresa gave herself and all of her attention and energy to the poor. She walked around the streets each day looking for places she could help. The work would exhaust her, but each day she kept on going. Sister Teresa had such a love and a compassion for God, people, and her work that she would help even the people who nobody else would go near. She was tempted each night to go back to the easy life at Loreto, but she prayed to God for help to get through it all. In March 1949, Sister Teresa received a visitor at St. Joseph’s. It was one of her students from Entally. She had come because she could not forget her kind and generous teacher and principle, and wanted to join Sister Teresa and work for the poor of Calcutta. Soon after, Magdalena Gomes came to Sister Teresa to help too. The three of them would go out onto the streets of Calcutta each day, not knowing what to expect.

There was terrible devastation in Bangladesh. Food was scarce in the villages and many people were starving. Many women had been raped and were treated as outcasts and abandoned by their families. These women had no place to go, that is, until Mother Teresa arrived. The Missionaries of Charity would hide the women from men who wanted to rape them. They also set up adoptions for the unwanted babies and buried the dead and tended to the wounds of the living. Four centers were established in Bangladesh. Because of all the work around the world, Mother Teresa was getting publicity. She didn’t like it, but if she was able to tell the world about her mission, she would do it. In 1973, Mother Teresa was given the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. In the years to follow, Mother Teresa built many more houses for the poor and needy. She also traveled around the world and spoke to many people. Mother Teresa has never turned down an invitation to work with the poor in any country.
